Slag Cement Terminology
• Blast Furnace: A furnace used to reduce iron ore.
• Blast-Furnace Slag: The non-metallicproduct, consisting essentially of silicates and aluminosilicates of calcium.
• Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag: The glassy, granular material formed when molten blast-furnace slag is rapidly chilled by immersion in water.
![Page 12: Supplementary Cementitious Materials - wisconcrete.org · Supplementary Cementitious Materials: Why do we incorporate these into concrete? WCPA Technical Workshop ... ACI Chapter](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013006/5adc8bb17f8b9a213e8bab01/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What is Slag?(Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag)
• When Portland cement is made, limestone is powdered and melted (sintered). Trace minerals of iron, aluminum, magnesium and silica are added. These chemically react to form cement clinker.
• When steel is made, powdered limestone is added to molten iron to draw out impurities. These impurities just so happen to be aluminum, magnesium and silica. Therefore…
If cooled properly and ground, slag is a cement!

Classifying GGBFS
In accordance with ASTM C 989, slag is classified by performance in the slag activity test in three grades:
Slag Activity Index, % = (SP/P) x 100
SP = Average compressive strength of slag-reference cement mortar cubes, psiP = Average compressive strength of reference cement mortar cubes, psi
![Page 25: Supplementary Cementitious Materials - wisconcrete.org · Supplementary Cementitious Materials: Why do we incorporate these into concrete? WCPA Technical Workshop ... ACI Chapter](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013006/5adc8bb17f8b9a213e8bab01/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

26
Performance of Slag Cement
The performance of slag as a mineral admixture in mortar or concrete depends on several factors. The following are most important:
• Chemical Composition: The more basic (non-acidic) materials are expected to be more cementitious.
• Glass Content: High glass content is desirable, but is determined by the slag’s thermal history.
• Fineness of grind: This determines the rate of reaction. A single factor like surface area can be misleading due to differences in grain size.

The Water-Cement Ratio LawDuff Abrams
All other things being equal:
The strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the ratio of water to cement
The higher the w/c, the lower the strength!!!

As the cement grains chemically react with water...
…fuzzy, “finger-like” crystals reach out to each other
![Page 62: Supplementary Cementitious Materials - wisconcrete.org · Supplementary Cementitious Materials: Why do we incorporate these into concrete? WCPA Technical Workshop ... ACI Chapter](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013006/5adc8bb17f8b9a213e8bab01/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

These fingers start to lock together...
…and grab onto sand and gravel particles as well

Eventually, these crystals get so intertwined that the concrete stiffens...
…this is what we call “setting.”

As the water and cement are used up, the crystals form a hard, dense structure
…water that isn’t used in the chemical reaction evaporates, leaving spaces and channels in the concrete

How can three components be better than two?• There are practical limits and
potential side effects from individual SCMs
• Ternary blends allow the designer to best optimize mix properties for the project – for design and construction:
• Strength, permeability, durability, heat of hydration, plastic properties (finishing, pumping, segregation & bleeding)
• May result in higher total cement replacement / lower cement factor
o Improved mix economicso Sustainability implications
“SCM’s”
