PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF POZZOLAN USED AS A CEMENT SUBSTITUTE IN STRUCTURAL CONCRETE

A summary of the state of the art has been compiled based on a survey of literature and available test results. Analyses of various pozzolan and fly ash products in the western United States was conducted to determine the availability of high quality pozzolan or fly ash. A step by step procedure based on an actual cost analysis for work currently being conducted has been developed to better enable a rational decision to be made in selecting one of several alternatives. Lastly, guidelines to setting up a batch plant capable of using pozzolan or fly ash have been summarized after consulting various batch plant operators who have utilized pozzolan or fly ash.
