Define pozzolanic materials
Short answer
Pozzolanic materials are siliceous or aluminous substances that have little cementing value alone, but in finely divided form and with moisture, they react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperature to form cementitious compounds. Examples include fly ash, volcanic ash, and silica fume.
Define pozzolanic materials.
Pozzolanic materials are siliceous or aluminous materials that have little cementing value themselves, but in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture react chemically with calcium hydroxide (lime) at ordinary temperature to form compounds with cementing properties. Examples: fly ash, volcanic ash, surkhi, burnt clay, rice husk ash and silica fume.
