Furnace Slag

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS), and silica fume (SF), have been mostly used as a replacement for Portland cement (PC). Replacing the SCMs with cement can provide improved strength characteristics; however, their applicability depends on the flow characteristics of the fresh mixtures. In this study, the rheological performance of cementitious suspensions in paste scale with different water-to-solid (W/S) volume ratios, varied from 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.25, to 2.50, was evaluated. As a result of the rheological tests, the yield stress and plastic viscosity of PC, FA, BS, and SF suspensions decreased as the W/S ratio increased. This study also estimated the inter-particle distances of the cementitious suspensions, and their relationship to the rheological properties was established. The inter-particle distances of the PC, FA, BS, and SF suspensions were in the ranges of 5.74~14.67 µm, 5.18~11.66 µm, 3.82~9.34 µm, and 0.107~0.27 µm, respectively. For very fine particles with a large surface area, the sensitivity to the rheological properties was high and the sensitivity was low when the particle sizes increased, indicating that the rheological properties were more sensitive to fine particles.

The utilisation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is widespread in the concrete industry because of the performance benefits and economic. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA) have been used as the SCMs in concrete for reducing the weight of cement and improving durability properties. In this study, GGBFS at different cement replacement ratios of 0%, 20%, 40% and 60% by weight were used in fine-grained concrete. The ternary binders containing GGBFS and FA at cement replacement ratio of 60% by weight have also evaluated. Flexural and compressive strength test, rapid chloride permeability test and under-water abrasion test were performed. Experimental results show that the increase in concrete strength with GGBFS contents from 20% to 40% but at a higher period of maturity (56 days and more). The chloride permeability the under-water abrasion reduced with the increasing cement replacement by GGBFS or a combination of GGBFS and FA

Background: The previous studies have focused curing effect of mainly on high strength concrete, where strict supervision is maintained. This study is based upon general purpose concreting work for commercial and residential construction in absence of skilled manpower and supervision. Objective: The objective of this study is to establish a thumb rule to provide 7 days initial curing for maintaining quality for unsupervised concreting irrelevant to type of cement and grading. Methods: In this study concrete samples made with locally available commercial cements were cured for various initial exposure. Results: The results shows that concrete cured after a gap of 4 days from the time of de-moulding have given lowest strength as compared to concrete cured in standard practices i.e. where proper curing protocol had been followed. Conclusion: Initial curing is most important aspect of gaining desired strength. The findings after this study shows that curing affects the strength of concrete in variable grading. Initial curing has great importance for concrete with all types of Portland cement. Concrete with supplementary cementitious materials gives lowest strength initially but results higher strength after 28 days as compared to Portland cement.
