Abstract

The invention comprises a composition comprising hyaloclastite having a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 40 μm. The invention also comprises a cementitious material comprising a hydraulic cement and hyaloclastite, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 40 μm. The invention further comprises a cementitious-based material comprising aggregate, a cementitious material comprising a hydraulic cement and hyaloclastite, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 40 μm and water sufficient to hydrate the cementitious material. A method of using the composition of the present invention is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

placing in a form or a mold a cementitious-based material comprising;

a cementitious material comprising a hydraulic cement and hyaloclastite, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 40 μ

m;

aggregate; and

water sufficient to hydrate the cementitious material; and

allowing the cementitious material to at least partially cure.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 20 μ

m.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 10 μ

m.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 5 μ

m.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the hydraulic cement comprises portland cement.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the hydraulic cement comprises portland cement.

7. The method of claim 3, wherein the hydraulic cement comprises portland cement.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the hydraulic cement comprises portland cement.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the cementitious material comprises approximately 50% to approximately 99% by weight portland cement and approximately 1% to approximately 50% by weight hyaloclastite.

10. An object or structure made by the method of claim 1.

11. An object or structure made by the method of claim 2.

12. An object or structure made by the method of claim 3.

13. An object or structure made by the method of claim 4.

14. An object or structure made by the method of claim 5.

15. An object or structure made by the method of claim 6.

16. An object or structure made by the method of claim 7.

17. An object or structure made by the method of claim 8.
