Cinder/scoria has some useful qualities within concrete mixes and its compressive strength within concrete/ferro is in direct relationship to its portion and granular size within the mix. The smaller the granule size, the greater its compressibility within the mix. Basic cinders are extremely porous reducing their compressive value until ground fine wherein they adopt positive structural characteristic within a mix.
I am using a custom recipe for concrete cladding panels for my house that incorporate cement, ground cinders/scoria, perlite, fly ash and zinc oxide. Each play an important role within the mix.
Here's some further reading on the topic and the superior composition of Roman Concrete cited last.
