Validation of the Splitting Tensile Strength Formula for Concrete Containing Blast Furnace Slag

Abstract:

The adverse environmental impact of the construction industry may be mitigated through the partial replacement of cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). SCMs such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), impart many favourable fresh and long-term concrete properties. A study by Mohamed [1] assessed the splitting tensile strength of sustainable self- consolidating concrete in which up to 80% of the cement was partially replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and developed a prediction formula for the splitting tensile strength. In this paper, the tensile strength prediction formula developed by Mohamed et al. [1] is benchmarked against formulas proposed in different building codes and validated with additional test results obtained from the literature. The proposed prediction formula showed excellent correlation to experimental data obtained from the literature.
