Influence of Diatomite on the properties of mortar and concrete: A Review

Abstract Pozzolanic additives set off a fundamental part of high strength and most durable concrete mix design. materials include natural products such as volcanic product (ashes pumice) by-product includes metakaolin, rice husk ash, silica fume, fly ash etc. Diatoms have been utilized one the pozzolanic in industrial sectors construction industries to improve rheological mechanical properties cement. Diatomite is sedimentary rocks comprised amorphous or active its main origin. It being used very frequently additive cement mortar concrete. has manifested appreciable effect altering chemical This paper gives an outlook work executed on application diatomite partial replacement for Portland Different containing raw widely discussed paper.
