Effect of curing temperature and blast furnace slag concrete on concrete strength development

The present work is attempt to evaluate the temperature dependence of blast furnace slag concrete(BFSC) based on the concrete strength cured with different curing temperatures and ages. A equivalent substitution index(ESI) was induced to explain temperature dependence of concrete quantitatively as well as concrete strength. The results from compressive strength showed substantial crossover effect. which is the phenomenon that the compressive strength cured at low temperature becomes stronger than the one cured at high temperature. The crossover effect found more definitely on BFSC than plain concrete.. The ESI became 1.1 and 1.0 for the BFSC cured at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ after age of 56 days, respectively. Which means that the contribution to strength development of blast furnace slag per unit mass is stronger than that of the Portland cement. It was considered therefore that the optimum curing temperature for BFSC is $20^{\circ}C$.
