1 Silica Fume, and

2 Fly Ash, Slag, Silica Fume, and Also known as Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) a material that, when used in conjunction with portland cement, contributes to the properties of the hardened concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity, or both.

3 Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) From left to right: Fly ash (Class C) Metakaolin (calcined clay) Silica fume Fly ash (Class F) Slag Calcined shale Fly Ash, Slag,

4 Supplementary Cementing Materials Pozzolans Pozzolan a siliceous or alumino-siliceous material that, in a finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide released by the hydration of portland cement to form compounds possessing cementing properties. Fly Ash, Slag, a natural material which may also be calcined and/or processed ( eg. metakaolin, rice husk, volcanic ash, calcined shale)

5 Specification and Class of Natural Pozzolans ASTM C 618 (AASHTO M 295) Fly Ash, Slag, Metakaolin Class N Raw or calcined natural pozzolans including: Diatomaceous earths Opaline cherts and shales Tuffs and volcanic ashes or pumicites Calcined clays, including metakaolin, and shales
