SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS FOR

SLAG CEMENT IN CONCRETE

Slag cement is a raw material that is used in a wide variety of commercial and architec-tural concrete construction applications. This information sheet is intended to provide guidance to specifiers in the absence of slag cement specifications, or for the addition of slag cement to an existing specification.

Slag cement should be used as a pound for pound replacement for a portion of the portland cement in a concrete mixture. Depending on the desired properties or applica-tion, various replacement levels can be used. Table 1 lists suggested replacement levels for a variety of common applications.

Slag Cement in Concrete No. 13

FOR GENERAL USE

As with all concrete mixtures, trial batches should be performed to verify concrete properties.

As with all concrete mixtures, trial batches should be performed to verify concrete properties. Results may vary due to a variety of circumstances, including temperature and mixture components, among other things. You should consult your slag cement professional for assistance.

1. For moderate exposure where ASTM C150, Type II cement is required, a Type I with

25 to 50 percent slag cement (by mass of cementitious material) can be used.

2. For severe exposure where ASTM C150, Type V cement is required, a Type I or a

Type II cement with 50 to 65 percent slag cement (by mass of cementitious material) can be used.

3. For very severe exposure an ASTM C150 Type V cement with a minimum of 50 percent slag cement (by mass of cementitious material) can be used.

4. The sulfate resistance of the concrete shall be confirmed by testing in accordance to

ASTM C-10127.

Mass Concrete

1. For mass concrete placements, the percentage of portland cement to be replaced shall be 50 to 80 percent (by mass of cementitious material).

2. Thermal properties of the concrete shall be verified prior to construction to ensure conformity to project requirements.

Alkali-Silica Reactivity

1. When using reactive aggregate, slag cement shall be used at replacement levels between 25 and 70 percent (by mass of cementitious material).

2. Mitigation of ASR shall be verified by testing in accordance to ASTM C-12608.

3. If the specific slag/portland cement mixture is shown to mitigate ASR in accordance with ASTM C-1260, low alkali cement is not necessary.

Exposure to Deicing Salts

1. Concrete exposed to deicing salts shall have a W/CM ratio of 0.45.

2. Concrete shall have an adequate air - void system as defined in ACI 201.2R9.

3. Proper finishing and curing practices, in accordance with ACI 30210 and ACI 30811 shall be followed.

4. Slag cement replacement can be 25 to 50 percent (by mass of cementitious material).

Freeze - Thaw Durability

1. Concrete shall have a W/CM of 0.45.

2. Concrete shall have an adequate air - void system as defined in ACI 201.

3. Slag cement replacement can be 25 to 80 percent (by mass of cementitious material).

FOR SPECIAL EXPOSURES AND APPLICATIONS

As with all concrete, proper finishing and curing is essential to ensure resistance to deicer scaling.

About the Slag Cement Association…

The Slag Cement Association is the leading source of knowledge on blast-furnace slag-based cemen-titious products. We promote the increased use and acceptance of these products by coordinating the resources of member companies.

We educate customers, specifiers and other end-users on the varied attributes, benefits and uses of these products.

Designation: C1797M − 16

Standard Specification for Ground Calcium Carbonate and Aggregate Mineral Fillers for use in Hydraulic Cement Concrete1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1797M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification applies to ground calcium carbonate

(GCC is a type of ground limestone) and other finely divided aggregate mineral filler (AMF) materials for use in concrete mixtures. The specification defines the types of GCC and AMF materials for use in concrete.

1.2 If concrete in service is subject to sulfate exposure, fillers derived from ground limestone should not be used unless mitigation methods are used.

NOTE 1—American Concrete Institute (ACI) technical documents 201.2R, 318, 332, and 350 contain useful information and code require-ments dealing with sulfate exposure in service. Soluble sulfate in water can be determined in accordance with Test Method D516 or Test Method D4130. Percent sulfate by mass in soil can be determined by Test Method C1580.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as

standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

NOTE 2—Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Speci-fication E11. The alternative designation given in parentheses is for information only and does not represent a different standard sieve size.

1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes, which provide explanatory information. These notes and foot-notes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the

safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
