Properties of self-compacting portland pozzolana and limestone blended cement concretes containing different replacement levels of slag
Abstract In order to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission, and increase production, cement manufacturers are blending or inter-grinding mineral additives such as slag, natural pozzolana, and limestone. This paper reports on the results of an experimental study on the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC) produced with portland cement (PC), portland pozzolana (PPC) and portland limestone (PLC) blended cements. Moreover, the effect of different replacement levels (0–45%) of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) with the PPC, PLC, and PC cements on fresh properties (such as slump flow diameter, T 500 slump flow time, V-funnel flow time, L-box height ratio, setting time, and viscosity) and hardened properties (such as compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity) of self-compacting concretes are investigated. From the test results, it was found that it was possible to manufacture self-compacting concretes with PPC or PLC cements with comparable or superior performance to that of PC cement. Furthermore, the use of GGBFS in plain and especially blended cement self-compacting concrete production considerably enhanced the fresh characteristics of SCCs.
