As per the BIS code, the PPC grading has been capped at\n33. Since the pozzolanic material reacts with Ca(OH)2 freed by the wetting\nportland cement and produces cementitious compounds, PPC allows concrete to\nbecome denser and impermeable. It is broadly used in marine works, construction\nof hydraulic structures, mass concreting, etc. It safeguards concrete from\ndamageable alkali-aggregate reactions.
