change in gradation when excess its limits.
|
This causes mixing
with the other fine aggregate to mismatch its properties.
|
5% to 7% is allowed
in Portland cement concrete.
|
3% of it is allowed
in Portland cement concrete.

It is harmful to
concrete used by this type of cement.

It has bulky shape
|
The clay lumps cannot
be washed away from filter thus it is non-objectionable.
|
It is objectionable
in filter material because it can be washed out by the water passing.
|
The clay lumps are
restricted when it is subjected to abrasion.
|
It is detrimental
when it is subjected to abrasion.
|
The clay lumps will
stand odd and will resist the interlocking between the cement particles.
|
The clay particles
will form a surface interlocking bonding with the cement particles.

It will change some
properties of Portland cement.
|
It
will not change the major properties of Portland cement.
