Pozzolans, derived from the town of Puzzuoli, Italy, are supplementary cementitious materials that enhance the properties of concrete when combined with portland cement. They can be natural (like volcanic ash) or artificial (such as fly ash and silica fume) and are defined by their ability to chemically react with calcium hydroxide to form compounds with hydraulic cementitious properties. Key factors affecting their pozzolanic activity include chemical composition, amorphousness, and fineness, with various
