Abstract Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is one of green construction materials that held benefits in producing sustainable and high-quality concrete. GGBFS is commonly used as supplementary cementitious materials in blended cement to reduce the need for Portland cement in mortar or concrete production. An overview of the utilization of GGBFS as partial cement replacement with regards to mortar and concrete properties is presented in this paper. The fresh properties of GGBFS mixes addressed include workability and setting time. While compressive strength, porosity, shrinkage, and resistance to sulfate attack are the reviewed hardened properties. Overall, various studies showed that incorporating GGBFS in mortar/concrete mixes significantly improves mortar/concrete properties depending on the GGBFS replacement ratios. It is anticipated that this review will provide valuable information for a better understanding of the fresh and hardened properties of GGBFS-blended mortar and concrete. Moreover, as there is a growing interest in optimal utilization of GGBFS in Indonesia’s cement and construction industry, this review paper intended to raising awareness of GGBBFS utility regarding its benefit for sustainable construction.

The article reports a laboratory experimental programme that investigated effect of ground granulated blast furnace (GGBS) on compressive strength of POFA ternary concrete. Compressive strength tests were performed at a range of cements combinations, including 100%PC, two POFA levels for binary concrete, 35% and 45%, and 15%GGBS inclusion for POFA ternary concrete. The compressive strength results were examined in comparison to PC only and equivalent POFA binary concretes for up to 28 days. Results show that the reduction in compressive strength is greater with the higher cement replacement level for all concretes particularly for POFA binary concretes. However, 15%GGBS in POFA blended concrete has a comparable compressive strength compared to PC concrete at both, 35% and 45%, cement replacement levels except for ternary concrete at 0.65 w/c. In addition, the compressive strength of ternary concrete is slightly higher compared to binary concrete for all concrete combinations. Although there is no significant noticeable influence on strength development, the presence of GGBS did not adverse the strength development of POFA blended concrete. Thus, it can be concluded that GGBS compensates the adverse effect of POFA at early strength development.

This paper presents the results of using ground dune sand (GDS) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (slag) as high volume cement replacement materials. In this study, plain and four blended mixtures were fabricated and cured under normal and autoclave conditions. For the blended mixtures, 40% GDS by weight of the total binder materials and different percentages of slag (15%, 30% and 45%) were incorporated as partial cement replacement materials. The effect of curing conditions (normal and autoclave) on the compressive strength of prepared mixtures was studied. The results showed that, for the autoclave cured mixture, up to 85% of cement can be replaced by GDS and slag without significant drop in the compressive strength. Microstructure analyses using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were carried out to examine the microscale changes of the hydrated mixtures. The SEM revealed the formation of thin plate-like calcium silicate hydrate and compacted microstructure of autoclave cured mixture. XRD showed the elimination of calcium hydroxide and existence of residual crystalline silica of all blended mixtures.

Constructors and researchers have been concerned about carbonation because it has been a concern of the concrete by decreasing the interstitial solution's pH, it may encourage the reinforcement material deposition for reinforced concrete and subsequent corrosion. The use of geopolymeric materials, such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), is one of the factors that affect carbonation. This study explores the effects of replacement 0, 20, 40, and 60% from cement mass by GGBS on the physical and mechanical properties in particular, the carbonation of concrete. According to the results, it was observed that the higher the percentage of cement replacement with GGBS, the lower the carbonization depth, as the best result was achieved at the replacement ratio of 60%. As for the compressive strength, it increases with an increase in the proportion of cement replacement with GGBS. Moreover, the addition of GGBS reduced the water absorption.
