Here, this paper presents a comprehensive review of existing research examining the effects of supplementary cementitious materials on age-dependent concrete properties with the most profound implications for precast concrete production. The review covers the physical and chemical properties of selected types of supplementary cementitious materials, concrete mixture proportions, concrete curing methods, testing procedures, and test results related to the fresh properties and strengths of a range of concrete mixtures. Although the use of supplementary cementitious materials in precast concrete products is common, the detailed information provided in this paper may facilitate more widespread use of these materials to enhance concrete properties and comply with sustainability initiatives.
