BENEFITS OF SLAG AND FLY ASH

The use of ground granulated blast furnace slag and powder coal fly ash as an addition to either cement or concrete is well-established. Concrete made with these secondary raw materials as a part of the binder does show distinct advantages over concrete with Portland cement only. Especially, the performances with respect to chloride-initiated corrosion of rebars, alkali-silica reaction and sulphate attack are substantially improved. These improvements and their causes are discussed. (A)
