Advantages of using minerals in cement are as given under
Minerals are having their own advantages if using it with Cement
Fly ash
- Increases structural protection and toughness
- Increases resistance to toxic threats
- Better workability
Blast furnace slag
- Improved stability
- Increased setting time
- Strength benefit lasts for a long time
- Reduced chance of alkali-silica reaction injury
- Impervious to chloride and sulphate threats
Silica fumes
- Better compressive power and abrasion resistance
- Reduced chloride ion permeability
- Improved workability
- Cuts down on bleeding
Rise husky ash
- Reduced heat of hydration in concrete
- Reduced permeability in concrete
- Improved resilience to chloride and sulphate attacks
Metakaolin
- Improved compressive and flexural strength
- Reduced permeability
- More chemically tolerant
- Durability is improved.
