Fundamental Properties of Concrete Using the Ground Calcium Slurry Carbonate

Nowadays, according to the trend of a high performance of concrete structure, the research results have been announced for the purpose to make the high quality. With this respect, we began research to use the Ground Calcium slurry Carbonate (GCC) to a concrete admixtures which ground the limestone until about $1.5mutextrm{m}$. In this paper, we examined the quality of GCC to fine out the value in use as the concrete admixtures. And mechanical properties of concrete using cement blended with GCC, silica fume and mixed two were investigated. It was result from this study that air contents of concrete replaced with GCC were constant regardless of replacement ratio, but the more GCC it had the use of, the less slump was measured. Especially 10% GCC concrete had a good result of compressive strength. In case of mixture with GCC and silica fume, the workability and compressive strength don't seem to be any problems. In the scope of this study it was indicated that the most reasonable replacement with GCC was 10% of cement weight as concrete admixture.
