In view of the increasing use of pozzolanic materials in hydraulic binders, there is great interest in designing a rapid and efficient method to evaluate their reactivity. The present paper describes a method for the evaluation of pozzolanic activity based on the measurement of compensated conductiv

โฆ Synopsis
Measurements of electric resistance and amount of consumption of portlandite were carried out in accelerated curing conditions by preparing pastes of Fine Ceraments, fly ash, silica fume, kaolin, acid clay, zeolite and quartz activated with portlandite. Electric resistances of reactive pozzolans showed sharp rises except that of kaolin, whereas that of as inactive material, quartz, showed no sharp rise. Electric resistances are proportional to the consumptions of portlandite except for fly ashes. The electric resistance measurement method combined with portlandite consumption measurement is useful to the rapid evaluation of pozzolanic activity.
