Assessment of pozzolanic activity of different calcined clays

The pozzolanic activity of calcined clays depends on the type and amount of clayed minerals, the nature and amount of impurities, the thermal treatment used for its activation and the specific surface obtained after calcination. In this paper, four test methods for assessment the pozzolanic activity on seven calcined clays (five kaolinites and two bentonites) were analyzed. Natural clays were calcined and investigated by two direct tests...
