At present, one of the most suitable ways to get a more sustainable cement industry is to reduce the CO₂ emissions generated during cement production. In order to reach that goal, the use of ground granulated blast-furnace slag as clinker replacement is becoming increasingly popular. Although the effects of this addition in the properties of cementitious materials are influenced by their harden...

Abstract The paper presents the correlation between flexural strength and modulus of elasticity with respect to compressive ternary concrete (TC), made by incorporating Micro silica (5% 15%) Ground granulated blast furnace slag (20% 50%) considering w/b=0.55. A total twelve mixes one conventional mix were prepared identify optimum mix. Flow characteristics properties (compression, rupture elast...

Industrial waste materials are increasingly being used in asphalt to improve pavement quality and reduce environmental impacts. The aim of this research was test the distress-related effects using ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) as a filler hot mix asphalt. There is potential for GGBFS be integrated into Western Australian (WA) pavements. replacement conventional hydrated lime (HL)...

This work presents a novel way to examine the characteristics of fly ash, copper slag (CPS) along with addition Ultrafine Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (UFGGBFS) based Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) for various molarities (10M, 12M and 14M). In GPC, ash was replaced UFGGBFS (5 %, 10 % 15 %) used as fine aggregate. Mechanical Characterization such split tensile, flexural strength, workability ...

During the production of concrete, cement, water, aggregate, and chemical and mineral admixtures will be used, and a large amount of carbon dioxide will be emitted. Conversely, during the decades of service life of reinforced concrete structures, carbon dioxide in the environment can ingress into concrete and chemically react with carbonatable constitutes of hardened concrete, such as calcium h...
