Structural Performance of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Mortar Under Impact Loading
Ground granulated blast furnace slag, can be effectively utilized as a partial replacing material with cement while making mortar or concrete. Impact strength acts as a critical part in structures like bridges, harbors, structures at the danger of blast loading or natural disasters and so on. In this paper, the influence of GGBS on the impact strength of cement mortar mix has been studied with varying percentages (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70%). From experimental results, it is evident that 50% replacement of GGBS with cement gives maximum impact strength. Also, it is found that the addition of GGBS enhances the damage tolerance of mortar significantly. This work also includes microstructural analysis to study the nature of bonding between the GGBS molecules and the cement mortar using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).An attempt is made to explain the reason for the improved impact strength based on microstructural studies.
