Abstract:
When heated at 800 C for 5 hr, Indonesian laterites showed good pozzolanic activity. The kaolin content of the material is the main cause of pozzolanicity, as indicated by the lime reactivity. Blended portland cements containing 20, 30, 40, and 50 percent of calcined laterite admixture were studied. Concretes were made with such cements and placed in aggressive solutions: seawater, acetic acid, and sulfuric acid. The best results were obtained with a cement containing 30 percent of calcined laterite admixture.
