Six supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) were identified to be incorporated in concrete exposed high-temperature cycling conditions within the thermal energy storage literature. The selected SCMs are bauxite, chamotte, ground granulated blast furnace slag, iron silicate, silica fume, and steel slag. A microstructural characterization was carried out through an optical microscope, X-ray d...

Abstract Partly replacing Portland cement (PC) with lower carbon footprint cementitious materials such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (slag) is considered a practical method for reducing CO 2 emissions in the concrete industry. To mitigate slow reactivity of system and enhance early-age strength, addition chemical activator solution. However, effect on creep behaviour slag-blended conc...

INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of two trials conducted with the Blast Furnace Granular Coal Injection System at Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Bums Harbor Plant. The trials were conducted using granulated and pulverized high volatile coal from Colorado. The first trial was conducted to quantify the effect that a high volatile western coal, Colorado Oxbow, has on the blast furnace ...

This paper presents the strength and durability of cement mortars using 0–100% ferronickel slag (FNS) as replacement of natural sand and 30% fly ash or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) as cement replacement. The maximum mortar compressive strength was achieved with 50% sand replacement by FNS. Durability was evaluated by the changes in compressive strength and mass of mortar specime...

The research reported herein studied the permeability of concrete containing recycled-concrete aggregate (RA), superfine phosphorous slag (PHS), and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) with and without stress. Test results showed that the chloride diffusion coefficient of RA concrete (RAC) without external loads decreased with time, and the permeability of RAC is much lower than that of...

This research studies the properties of mortars incorporating waste materials including red mud (RM), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and electric arc dust (EAFD). Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was partially replaced with equal contents RM, GGBFS, EAFD at different ratios by weight (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50%). Slump, compressive strength, splitting tensile electrical resistiv...
