Silica Breccia Supplementary Cement Material Key Properties

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 achieve their business goals
