Research Paper on Cementitious Materials in Concrete
Cementitious Materials in Concrete Define and classify various cementitious materials; Understand the effects of cement fineness on water demand and concrete strength properties Recognize the importance of controlling the heat of hydration in concrete; and Identify the types of blended cement and the performance benefits of each for certain applications. List the standard tests used to determine properties of hydraulic cement; Understand why the water demand changes when using fly ash and pozzolans; Discuss the differences in strength gain for concretes with and without pozzolan replacement of cement; and Recognize the advantages of using ground granulated blast furnace slag and silica fume in concrete. Explain the synergistic effects of using multiple Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) in a concrete mixture. Recall methodologies for evaluating ternary and quaternary blends of materials for use in concrete. Describe considerations for construction using ternary and quaternary
