Silica Fume and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Properties

I have been working on a project for a graduate course in concrete and materials properties. I would like to know the specific heat of silica fume and GGBFS. Also, I am interested in the amount of heat that silica fume and GGBFS contribute to concrete heat evolution compared to cement (i.e., cement contributes 100% of the heat evolution of cement, therefore silica fume and GGBFS contribute some proprtion of that). I realise this is a fairly technical question, but I have not been able to find this information elsewhere so I thought it was worth a chance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just attended a great seminar on concrete admixtures. It was led by Master Builders Technologies. These guys deal in all sorts of concrete admixtures and should be able to answer your questions. Check out their site for further information:
