Partial replacement with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, slag, and natural pozzolan reduces embodied carbon and often improves durability, but high SCM usage makes compressive strength a highly nonlinear function of multiple interacting mix parameters, rendering traditional design empirical and trial-and-error driven.
