The pozzolanic materials have the capacity to modify the performance of Portland cement (PC) mortars. When they are used as supplementary materials, the physical-chemical properties such as compressive-strength and resistance to aggressive environments (chloride, sulphate, acids) are improved. In this article, a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of the addition of two natural pozzolans: volcanic pumice and zeolite. Both used as substitutes for PC in mortars based on cement, considering mechanical strength and the aggressive effect of sulphate ions. Furthermore, the electrochemical behavior of the steel rebar embedded in these mortars was studied during 730 days of exposition to aggressive conditions. The results revealed that the development of the compressive strength of mortars with pozzolans added reached similar values to the reference mortar. It was possible to observe that the addition of the pozzolan suppresses the ettringite formation proportionally to the pozzolan content. The corrosion resistance of the steel improves with the addition of pozzolans after 730 days of exposition at sulphate environment. The results of this study revealed the feasibility to use natural pozzolan as an additive during the preparation of cement up to 25% without significant changes of the physical-chemical properties of the mortars.
