Abstract

Ten Volcanic tuffs collected from several locations in the northern region of Jordan were investigated for potential use as supplementary cementitious materials. The volcanic tuffs were subjected to screening tests which evaluated their chemical composition, morphology and pozzolanic activity. The more promising tuffs were evaluated further as partial (10–40 wt.%) replacement for Portland cement. Their effects on the fresh mix workability, and hardened material strength and susceptibility to alkali-silica reactions were examined. Volcanic tuffs with higher SiO 2 content produced higher early-age compressive strengths, and those with higher CaO contents produced improved long-term strength development qualities. Partial replacement of Portland cement with the selected volcanic tuffs reduced the susceptibility to deleterious alkali-silica reactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
