Slag cement is commonly found in ready-mixed concrete, precast concrete, masonry, soil cement and high temperature resistant building products. Slag Cement's History. Slag cement use can be traced to the 1700s when the material was combined with lime to make mortars. The first United States production was in 1896.
1. Introduction. Steel slag is a by-product of steel manufacturing [].Approximately 160 kg of steel slag is generated per ton of steel produced [].The common chemical compounds in steel slag are SiO 2, CaO, Fe 2 O 3, Al 2 O 3, and MnO [3, 4].The major mineral components of steel slag are C 3 S, C 2 S, C 4 AF, RO phase, and free …
The research investigates the behavior of RCC properties when different amounts of solid waste materials (brick powder, glass powder, and steel slag) are added as substitutes for cement content.
The influence of different replacement ratios of steel-slag powder as cement-replacement material on the fracture performance of concrete is studied in this paper. A three-point bending fracture test is carried out on slag powder-cement-based concrete (SPC)-notched beams with steel-slag powder as cementitious materials, …
2.2. Experimental design. In this study, two alternative materials were used: WOS powder and industrial byproduct BFS. Previous studies have indicated that WOS is mainly composed of calcium carbonate [13]; moreover, the addition of limestone over 10 % affects the mechanical properties of concrete.Thus, the replacement range of WOS …
Coral wastes are produced during the construction of island. The use of coral wastes in concrete is beneficial to economy and environment. Coral waste as aggregate in concrete has been studied well. Now, coral powder (CP) as mineral admixture to replace cement partially in concrete is a different approach to reuse coral waste. However, the …
The primary ingredient of Slag Cement is granulated blast- furnace slag (GBFS) that is ground to a fine powder. When mixed with water and Portland cement (the traditional …
This clinker is then crushed to a powder. • When limestone is heated in the kiln, it gives off CO2. ... • The alumina in the slag cement can react with more of the finely divided limestone in Type IL cement to form additional carboaluminatehydrates that then results in reduced porosity and increased early‐age strength of ...
In this study, the drying shrinkage and crack reduction characteristics of blast furnace slag concrete mixed with expansive and swelling admixtures were investigated. Basic …
Alkali-activated cement (AAC) is either clinker-less or free, and it is also environmentally friendly due to its low carbon footprint and wide range sources. Industrial wastes, like steel slag and blastfurnace slag, usually have latent hydraulic reactivity, and can be used as precursors of AAC. Both clinkerless and clinker-free AAC were prepared …
This study proposed the partial substitution of Portland cement (PC) by steel slag powder (SSP). The replacement of PC by the SSP ranged from 0 to 50%. The water and aggregate contents were kept constant in all the studied mixtures. ... This feature is attributed to the CaO content in the weathered slag in the form of free lime, as shown in …
The slag powder, Portland cement, gypsum, and coal ash were blended in a specific mass ratio of 40:23:7:30 to form a mixture. Next, the mixture was agitated with varying water-to-cement ratios ranging from 40% to 60% until it became a slurry. Afterward, aluminum powder (0.05–0.20%) was added with a stirring rate of 80–100 r/min.
Fine slag powder which was grinded to different particle size distribution was mixed in a series of proportions with portland cement.

1. Introduction. Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a kind of ultra-high-performance concrete developed by Richard and Cheyrezy [1] in the early 1990s.RPC has an enormous compressive strength in the range of 200–800 MPa with very high flexural strength, fracture energy, and tensile strain capacity [1, 2].These properties provide it …
• ACI 233, "Slag Cement in Concrete and Mortar". Classifications According to ASTM C989, GGBFS is classified into three grades according to its performance in the "slag activity test". The three grades are: Grade 80, Grade 100 and Grade 120. Slag activity is determined by the following formula: Slag activity index, % (SP / P) 100 Where:
