showed the amorphousness of minerals, though a little crystallization of the minerals was noticed. Retardation in setting time was also recorded with the increase in SCBA %age, which might have been due to the reduction in the calcium hydroxide (CH) contents (Neville, 1995).
The Chemical analysis of data indicates that BA has approximately four times high silica content than OPC and also contains considerable amount of CaO .
