Ladle Slag as an Admixture in Cement Composites

Abstract:

The research was dealing use of ladle slag and its impact on the physical and mechanical parameters of hardened cement composites. The goal was to find a suitable percentage share of ladle slag used as an admixture. The results of compressive strength tests show the possibility of replacement of a significant amount of cements with a specific secondary product. A decrease in compressive strength of about 8% after 28 days has to be taken into account when using Portland cement CEM I 42.5R and a 10% replacement with ladle slag.
