Important advantages of using minerals (5) in cement
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.
