3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the purpose of the Pozzolanic Activity Index (PAI)?
Remember what PAI assesses in concrete performance.
How is fineness measured in mineral admixtures?
Think about common methods of evaluating particle size.
What does the Pozzolanic Activity Index measure?
Focus on what property the PAI is assessing.
True or False: Higher fineness in mineral admixtures improves their reactivity.
Remember the relationship between size and surface area.
A particular mineral admixture exhibits a PAI of 0.75. How does this affect your decision to use it in concrete, especially for a highly reactive environment?
Think about what PAI indicates regarding performance.
You have two mineral admixtures, one with high fineness but low specific surface area due to compacting, and another with low fineness but high specific surface area. Which would you choose for high-performance concrete and why?
Connect the relationship between fineness and specific surface area to reactivity.
