An Experimental Study on Reasonable Content of Slag in Concrete C30

Abstract:

This study used ordinary portland cement of 42.5 strength grade, mixed with various minerals and water reducer for the preparation of concrete C30 by means of four schemes, for each of which a specific mix proportion was employed. Accordingly the compressive strength of concrete with different preparations at different ages were compared. No matter which scheme was employed, single or double doping, with or without superplasticizer, the compressive strength of concrete at different ages was maximized when slag amount was 30% or maximum. Hence it can be concluded that the reasonable content of slag should be 30% for the preparation of concrete C30. It is suggested that the above results can be better applied to large-volume concrete, underground, harbor, road and bridge and civil engineering as well.
