A Comprehensive Review on the Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) in Concrete Production

In the last few decades, concrete industry has been massively expanded with adoption of various kinds binding materials. As a substitute to cement and in an effort relieve ecofriendly difficulties linked creation, utilization industrial waste as cementitious material can sharply reduce amount trash disposed lakes landfills. With respect mechanical properties, durability thermal behavior, ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) delineates rational way develop sustainable concrete. Apart from environmental benefits, replacement by GGBS illustrates adequate mitigate economic impact. Although many researchers concentrate on utilizing production, knowledge is scattered, additional research needed better understand relationships among wide spectrum key questions more accurately determine these preliminary findings. This work aims shed some light scientific literature focusing use effectiveness alternative cement. First foremost, basic information manufacturing its physical, chemical hydraulic activity heat hydration are thoroughly discussed. following step, fresh such flowability strength, examined. Furthermore, concrete, density, permeability, acid resistance, carbonation depth dry shrinkage, also reviewed interpreted. It be deduced that structure parallel cement, it shows creditability being partially integrated overall suggests Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). On basis adjustments, strength shown increase, certain degree; however, reduced. addition, containing superior. The optimum percentage essential aspect performance. Previous studies have suggested different percentages varying 10 20%, depending source GGBS, mix design particle size GGBS. Finally, review presents process improvement tips for future generations
