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.

This article presents a study of the main properties (consistency, workability, leaching, unsoundness, and mechanical properties) of cement grouts prepared with cement replacement by blast furnace slag (GGBS). Mixtures have been analyzed in the absence of additives and reached high replacement percentages. As shown in the different tests presented, the observed evolution of the resistance and workability of the mixtures makes them very interesting for its application. Different types of cement (CEM-I 42.5 and CEM-I 52.5 R) and different water/binder values (1 and 0.67) are used. The results present opportunities for the steel industry by the intensive valorization of slag waste. The reduction of the use of cement in construction is also one of the key aims of this line of research. Results show improvements in the mechanical response with good fresh state properties for substitution percentages up to 70%. It is verified with leaching analysis that these products have less impact on the environment.

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.
