A new type of lightweight cement mortar was developed by using ground granulated blast furnace slag, quartz sand and expanded perlite as aggregates which were mixed with cement homogeneously. Consistence was used to characterize the workability of lightweight cement mortar. The effect of the components, including the proportions of granulated blast furnace slag and the addition of fly ash, on the properties was investigated in details. The results showed that the values of compressive and flexural strength increased with the ratio of slag to sand. Additionally, the introduction of fly ash improved the consistency and strength properties of lightweight cement mortar.

To improve the application of low-quality aggregates in structural concrete, this study investigated the effect of multi-purpose mineral admixtures, such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag, on the performance of concrete. Accordingly, the primary performance of low-quality recycled aggregate concrete could be improved by varying the replacement ratio of the recycled aggregate and using appropriate mineral admixtures such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The results show the potential for the use of low-quality aggregate in structural concrete.
