Influence of Blast Furnace Slag on the Mechanical Properties of High Performance Concrete

Abstract:

The characteristics of the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength according to replacement ratio of the blast furnace slag were found in this study. The blast furnace slag was utilizes as the concrete mix-material and then, these results were compared with the basis presented in the international standards. In this study, cylinder made of concrete with water/binder ratio 0.34 and blast furnace slag replacement rate of 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% were prepared to measure the compressive strength and spiting tensile strength. Test results indicate that The 28 days and 91 days compressive strength is affected by blast furnace slag replacement except specimen BS30 and the splitting tensile strength in specimen BS series is slightly larger than that of OPC except specimen BS 30.
