Original Abstract

A wide set of parameters of concrete containing 10% of ground granulated blast furnace slag as Portland cement replacement involving basic material characteristics, mechanical and fracture-mechanical properties, durability characteristics, hydric and thermal properties and chloride binding characteristics is determined and compared with the parameters of reference Portland cement concrete with otherwise the same composition. The experimental results show that the replacement of Portland cement by even such a low amount of ground granulated blast furnace slag as environmental more friendly and still valuable alternative binder either affects positively or at least does not worsen in a significant way the substantial properties of hardened concrete mix. The mechanical and fracture-mechanical properties are found to be very similar as compared to the reference mix, the liquid water transport parameters of the mix containing slag are significantly better, the basic durability characteristics such as the frost resistance and corrosion resistance similar and very good, the resistance against de-icing salts slightly worse. These findings may be significant for the future use of slag in the countries where its available amount is decreasing and its more efficient use as a binder than it was common to date can appear necessary
