Silica Breccia Supplementary Cement Material Key Properties (phase 2)

The project is focusing on developing a silica breccia product having a superior reactivity that allows

this product to be used widely as an alternative supplementary cementing material in cement mixtures.

The new developed silica breccia product will be tested for effectiveness as a supplementary

cementing material based on the Canadian Standard Association (CSA) test methods prior to

acceptance. Tests on other common supplementary cementing material such as fly ash, silica fume, and

metakaolin will also be conducted on counterpart specimens for comparison. The partner organization

will gain valuable insight about the performance of different silica breccia genesis in cement mixtures.

The project will aid the partner organization to optimize their product development processes and help

them achjeve their business goals.
