Typically pozzolans are used as cement replacements rather than cement additions. Adding pozzolans to an existing concrete mix without removing an equivalent amount of cement increases the paste content and decreases the water/cement ratio. In other words, adding more pozzolans to a mix changes the mix proportions.

Concrete Burns • Sand contained in fresh concrete is abrasive to bare skin • Portland is an alkaline. Strong bases (ph of 12-13) are just as hazardous as strong acids to the skin but have no initial signs of pain such as a burning sensation. • Drying Portland is hygroscopic - it absorbs water. Portland needs water to harden.

To make calcium silicate bricks, silica sand is mixed with high calcium lime at a sand-lime ratio of 10 or 20. The mix is then compressed into moulds and "autoclaved" at about 170°C (340°F) for several hours. Some gel, similar to the calcium silicate hydrate gel of the type that is formed by cement, is formed, and this bonds the sand particles together.

Fine Sand- Sand used in GFRC should have an average size passing a #50 sieve to #30 sieve (0.3 mm to 0.6mm). Finer sand tends to inhibit flowability while coarser material tends to run off of vertical sections and bounce back when being sprayed. Cement- Typical proportions use equal parts by weight of sand and cement.
