Sulfate
attack and its effects are important from both scientific and industrial
viewpoints. It is perceived that cements containing pozzolan have better
performance in sulfate solutions, since the pozzolanic reactions reduce the
quantity of calcium hydroxide and increase calcium silicate hydrate. This paper
investigates the physical and mechanical properties of concretes made by
blended cement containing Algerian natural pozzolan of volcanic origin, and
Portland cement. In order to better determine the pozzolanic effect of the
pozzolan addition in the concrete, the analysis of the experimental results of
the effect of the partial replacement of the cement by the natural pozzolan
showed that it contributes positively to the improvement of its mechanical characteristics,
its durability with respect to the permeability to the chlorine ions, the
ultrasonic pulse velocity, the compressive strength as well as the sulphate
resistance. The present study confirms the pozzolanic reactivity of the natural
pozzolan used
