Abstract:
Based on research data, new materials are being proposed for use as alternative cements or alternative supplementary cementitious materials. However, bringing new materials to market is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. The product data sheet proposed in this article will guide potential suppliers through the testing and documentation that will be required to market alternative cementitious materials.
