Utilisation of Blast-Furnace Slag as an Alternative of Natural Sand in Cement-Mortar and Concrete
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Civil Engineering
Abstract
This paper present Utilisation of Blast Furnace Slag as an Alternative of Natural Sand in Cement-Mortar and Concrete. Present experimental work explores the possibility granulated blast furnace slag as replacement of natural sand in mortar. In this work, cement mortar mix with 1:4 and 1:6 was selected for 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 % substitutions of natural sand with GBS for constant w/c ratio of 0.4 and 0.5. Its compressive strength is investigated. Material was produced, tested and compared with conventional concrete in terms of workability and strength. These tests were carried out on standard cube of 150x150x150 mm for number of days to determine the mechanical properties of concrete.
