In this paper, the experiment about compressive strength of concrete using granulated blast furnace slag as fine aggregate was introduced. In this experiment, granulated blast furnace slag fine aggregates that were produced by two different steel factory and natural river sands that came from two different producing area were been used, and compressive strength of concrete for testing were four levels from ordinary strength level to high strength level. As results, the compressive strength of concrete that used granulated blast furnace slag as fine aggregate increase with increasing of concrete age as good as the concrete used nature river sand. At the early age of 3 days and 7days, whether water-cement ratio, the compressive strength of concrete using slag fine aggregate is always lower than concrete using river sand. At the long age of 91 days, the compressive strength of concrete using slag fine aggregate exceed the concrete using river sand when water-cement ratio was greater than 30%. The compressive strength of concrete using granulated blast furnace slag as fine aggregate can exceed 80N/mm2, the granulated blast furnace slag can be used in high-strength concrete.

High-strength concrete in the autoclaved-curing was made by the way of mixing single and double doped. The compressive strength of concrete and the morphology of hydrates in concrete containing ground granulated blast-furnace slag (SG) and Quartz sand (QS) have been investigated using XRD and SEM measurements. The results show that quartz sand also possesses effective pozzolanic property in the steam-autoclaved stage. The mixed proportion of QP:SG=1:1 is the best when the dose is 30%.The paste became denser through double mixing. When the doses is 10-35%, SG for the improvement of concrete compressive strength is higher than the quartz sand.

In this experiment, blast furnace slag fine aggregate that was produced by 3 different steel factory was been used in high-strength concrete, and mechanical properties of high-strength concrete were studied. The concrete using the blast furnace slag fine aggregate is admitted the increase of compressive strength as well as the case of the river sand when the water cement ratio is reduced, and the compressive strength can attain 100N/mm2. The strength of concrete using blast furnace slag fine aggregate is lower than the strength of concrete using natural river sand as fine aggregate, and the strength of concrete using mixture fine aggregate is middle of strength used river sand and strength used blast furnace slag fine aggregate. The crushing value of blast furnace slag fine aggregate is bigger than the natural river sand, and it could influence the strength of high-strength concrete using blast furnace slag fine aggregate.

 In this study, the properties of concrete with different amounts of Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS) has been studied. In another part, the test deals to assess the properties of concrete containing GGBFS with micro-SiO2. The results show that the slag has pozzolan properties and its use up to 20% in the concrete, has no harmful effect on concrete properties. The simultaneous use of micro-SiO2 with blast furnace slag have little effect, as well as micro-SiO2 covers the defects caused by the use of slag. The results indicate that the use of micro-SiO2 and slag has good effects on the strength of concrete up to a certain age, so that its compressive strength is increased. Water-cement ratio was 0.42 and 12.5 mm for maximum size of aggregate and cement content in concrete was 425 kg per cubic meter. Compressive strength of concrete samples was measured at ages 7, 28, 56 and 90-day and flexural and tensile strength and water absorption after 28-day and 90 days also was measured.

This research investigates the influence of high temperature on the properties of bricks containing non-ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) as fine aggregate replacement. Replacement percentages were 0%, 25% and 50% by dry weight of fine aggregates. The manufactured bricks were exposed to 200°С, 400°С, 600°С, and 800°С for a constant duration of two hours after 28 days of curing. Tests were conducted according to both Egyptian Standard Specifications (ESS) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) in order to determine compressive strength, absorption percentage, oven-dry weight, and ultrasound pulse velocity. Also, loss in weight was performed. Compressive strength limit regarding load-bearing units was met by mix 1 at all tested temperatures. Mixes 2 and 3, resulted in compressive strength that satisfied the requirement for load-bearing units at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600°С.Compressive strength obtained regarding mixes 2 and 3 met the requirements of non-load bearing units at 800°С. The control mix resulted in normal weight bricks when tested at the various temperatures till 600°С. At 800°С, mixes 2 and 3 yielded light weight and medium weight bricks, respectively. There was a significant reduction in mass when comparing the mass at 800°С with the corresponding mass at room temperature concerning the three mixes. Results showed that it is feasible to partially replace fine aggregate with GBFS even when bricks are subjected to elevated temperature.

In conditions of dense urban development and a variety of engineering and geological conditions, the use of concretes with a combined aggregate of a rationally selected composition will solve the existing problem of reducing the mass of reinforced concrete structures of buildings and structures and maintaining the required strength and deformability. In this paper, studies have been carried out on the choice of a rational formulation of lightweight concrete based on expanded clay gravel, natural crushed stone and granulated blast furnace slag by varying the volume content of porous coarse aggregate and the volume content of fine aggregate in relation to the mixture. In total, 9 series of prototypes and 1 series of control samples are manufactured and tested. One series of samples includes three cubes with dimensions of 10x10x10 cm. All samples are tested in terms of density and compressive strength, the coefficient of constructive quality is determined. The results of the study shows that the introduction of expanded clay gravel into the composition of heavy concrete instead of part of the dense coarse aggregate and the replacement of the fine dense aggregate with granular blast furnace slag leads to an increase in the structural quality factor, that is, a decrease in the compressive strength of concrete is compensated for by an even more significant decrease in the density of the material, and means weight reduction. The increase in the coefficient of constructive quality of concrete based on expanded clay gravel, natural crushed stone and granulated blast-furnace slag in comparison with the control composition is 15.6 %.


Structures built with normal concrete are fading out from the construction industry due to the development of high strength concrete. The massive structures such as sky scrapers, bridges, tunnels, nuclear plants, underground structures need high strength concrete to withstand the high intensity vertical, horizontal and moving loads etc. The development of high strength alkaline activated concrete will reduce the usage of cement in construction community. Lesser the utilisation of cement will lessen the high emission of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. In this study, high strength concrete using alumina and silica rich materials are made with a mix ratio of 1:1.31:2.22. The water to cement ratio for high strength cement concrete and the alkaline solution to binder ratio for alkaline activated concrete are kept as 0.35. Low calcium fly ash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Metakaolin are used as binders and Manufacturing Sand is used as fine aggregate to made high strength alkaline activated concrete. The high strength alkaline activated concrete tests results are better than the high strength cement concrete.

Abstract Most superior cements delivered today contain materials notwithstanding Portland cement to help accomplish the compressive strength or solidness execution. These materials include fly ash, silica fume and ground-granulated blast furnace slag used discretely or in coalescence. Concurrently, chemical admixtures such as high-range di-hydrogen monoxide-reducers are needed to ascertain that the concrete is facile to convey, place and culminate. For high-strength cements, a blend of mineral and compound admixtures is almost consistently fundamental to guarantee accomplishment of the necessary strength. The Primer investigations have been done on concrete, Fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The Blend Extent for M200 grade concrete is determined 1: 0.313: 1.463 by following the plan methodology given by ACI Strategy. By keeping up the w/c proportion as 0.25, the multi day Compressive strength, Flexural strength and Split elasticity of cement at 3% of silica fume and 1.5% of conplast have been accomplished as 163.33 N/mm2, 8.4 N/mm2& 9.5 N/mm2 separately. The variety of solidarity of cement with the variety of silica fume is appeared in bar outline. The strength of the concrete might be as yet expanded by decreasing the w/c proportion and expanding the level of silica fume

To utilize the recycled powder as concrete additives, self-compaceing concerte with recycled powder, granulated blast-furnace slag and granulated limestone were tested for slump-flow, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage. Reduction in superplasticizing effect of high-range water reducer was found for concrete with recycled powder. Compressive strength of concrete with recycled powder were the same as those with granulated limestone, and lower than those with granulated blast-furnace slag. Concrete with recycled powder showed lower elastic modulus and higher drying shrinkage than those with granulated blast-furnace slag and granulated limestone. The addition of granulated blast-furnace slag together with recycled powder to self-compacting concrete improved superplasticizing effect of high-range water reducer and properties of concrete.
