Mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete containing high volumes of ground granulated blast furnace slag
Source abstract
Abstract
The mechanical properties (flexural strength, compressive strength, toughness and fracture energy) of steel microfiber reinforced reactive powder concrete (RPC) were investigated under different curing conditions (standard, autoclave and steam curing). Portland cement was replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) at 20%, 40% and 60%. Sintered bauxite, granite and quartz were used as aggregates in different series. The compressive strength of high volume GGBFS RPC was over 250 MPa after autoclaving. When an external pressure was applied during setting and hardening stages, compressive strength reached up to 400 MPa. The amount of silica fume can be decreased with increasing amount of GGBFS. SEM micrographs revealed the tobermorite after autoclave curing.
