Hydration Properties of Steel Slag under Different Curing Temperatures

Abstract:

The non-evaporable water content, compressive strength, and pore distribution of steel slag paste cured under different curing temperature conditions were investigated in this paper. The non-evaporable water content of steel slag paste at early ages is obviously larger at higher curing temperature. At the age of 28 days, the non-evaporable water content of steel slag paste at normal curing temperature is close to that at high curing temperature, but the compressive strength of steel slag paste at normal curing temperature is much lower than that at high curing temperature. The pore structure of steel slag paste is much coarser than that of cement paste under the same conditions.
