Resistance of Concrete with Fine-Ground Granulated Slag Admixture to Sulphates and Acidic Aggressive Media

Jiri Brozovsky, Tomas Fojtik, Amos Dufka

Abstract


Blast-furnace slag granules may be used not only in mixed Portland cement making but it is also suitable as a partial substitution of Portland cement in concrete. Substitution of 20 – 50 % Portland cement by fine-ground blast-furnace slag granules increases concrete resistance to aggressive media in comparison with concrete made of mere Portland cement (CEM I). In the given case, concrete resistance to sulphates (concentration SO4 2- - 10 000 mg/l) and to acidic aggressive media (pH = 3) was monitored.
