Abstract:

The need to produce high performance concrete led the researches to try to
exploit the potentialities of natural or artificial materials so as to improve the
performance of concrete . Iron furnace slag has been used as an alternative of
proportion on cement after being processed , since its main oxides are similar to those of
cement .
In this investigation , the effect of slag was studied including compressive
strength and absorption of concrete in 7 , 28 days were investigated .
Results demonstrated that the inclusion of 6% slag as a partial replacement by
weight of cement showed superior performance over those of the other concretes ,
where the percentage increase in compressive strength after 28 days relative to reference
concrete was 19.5 % and the percentage reduction in absorption was 32 % .
