Concrete is the most versatile building material, since it can be designed to withstand the most hostile environments by adopting the most stimulating forms. Engineers are continually pushing the boundaries to improve their performance with the help of innovative chemical additives and complementary cement materials. Today, most of the concrete mix contains additional cementitious material that is part of the cement component. These materials are important by-products of other processes. The main advantages of SCMs are their ability to replace a certain amount of cement and yet they can have cement properties, thus reducing the cost of using Portland cement. The rapid growth of instrumentation has led to tons and tons of by-products or waste materials, which can be used as SCMs such as fly ash, silica fumes, blast furnace slag, steel slag, etc. The use of these by-products not only helps to use these waste materials, but also improves the properties of concrete in fresh and hydrated states. Slag cement and fly ash are the two most common SCMs used in concrete. Most of the concrete produced today includes one or both of these materials. For this reason, their properties are frequently compared with one another by the designers of mixtures seeking to optimize concrete mixtures. Perhaps the most successful SCM is silica fume because it improves both the strength and durability of concrete to such an extent that modern design rules require the addition of fume silica for the design of high-strength concrete
