2. INTRODUCTION
A simple everyday definition of 'pozzolan' could be 'a finely powdered material which can be
added to lime mortar (or to Portland cement mortar) to increase durability. A more formal
definition is given by ASTM C618-84 as 'a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material
which, in itself, possesses little or no cementitious value but which will, in finely divided
form in the presence of moisture, react chemically with calcium hydroxide at ordinary
temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious properties

3. SOURCES AND TYPES OF POZZOLANIC MATERIALS

(a) Natural, very finely divided, Highly Reactive Materials of Volcanic
Origin

(b) Low Temperature Calcined Products in Various forms

(c) Clay or Kaolin Products specially Manufactured as Pozzolans

(d) Mineral Slag

(e) Ashes of Organic Origin

(f) Certain Natural Sands and Crushed Rock Products

Properties and reactivity of pozzolansand their influence on the quality of
mortars and concrete

Industrial and agricultural waste with pozzolanicproperties is used as
partial binder replacement in building materials to enhance sustainability
and improve the service life of structures. This leads to economic and
environmental benefits such as recycling waste, whose disposal threatens
the environment, and reducing cement/lime content, with the subsequent
drop in energy consumption, non-renewable raw material consumption
and CO2 emissions. Pozzolanproperties including particle size, specific
surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water
demand affect their reactivity, and consequently the setting and strength
of composites

5. 
. Pozzolanicreaction is not as slow as it is generally believed; and that
hydrates are clearly present only after 24 hours of curing, forming
continuous networks throughout the paste after 14 days. It was also
evidenced that pozzolansenhance the modulus of elasticity making lime
mortars progressively stiffer however, unlike most building materials,
enhanced stiffness and larger elastic regions are not coupled to increased
brittleness, and the mortars remain plastic, undergoing significant strain
before failure even at high pozzolancontents. The work has also
evaluated and established a correlation between techniques that
measure reactivity (chemical and physical indices and portlandite
consumption) and carried out a comprehensive, comparative study of
setting times and water demand for a range of pozzolans.
