Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag as Partial Replacement of the Binder of High Performance Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with influence of the ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in the mixture of high performance concrete. It is a powder active addition used in concrete which is characterized certain cementitious properties. Influence of this addition was experimentally verified. In the first series, partial replacement of cement by GGBS was tested. In the second series, GGBS was added to the original reference mixture. Studied parameters were compressive strength, tensile strength and workability. The tests have shown that a partial replacement of the cement by GGBS is possible for achieving the desired workability or if we need to reduce the price of concrete.
