The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of blast-furnace slag on strength development and durability of latex-modified concrete (LMC) and ordinary portland cement concrete as slag contents. Main experimental variables were performed latex contents (0%, 10%, 15%) and slag contents (0%, 30%). The compressive and flexural strengths, chloride-ion rapid permeability and chemical attacks resistance were measured to analyze the characteristic of the developed LMC and BS-LMC(latex-modified concrete added blast-furnace slag) on hardened concrete. The test results showed that compressive and flexural strength of BS-LMC increased as the slag contents increased from 0% to 30% at the long term of curing. It considers blast furnace slag used when latex content was up to 10%. The permeability resistance of BS-LMC(latex 10%, blast 30%) was extremely good at the curing time 90 days. Also. the effects of added blast furnace slag on OPC and LMC were increased on the permeability and chemical attacks resistance.

Structural capacity of water channel fabricated of concrete including blast furnace slag were investigated in this paper. An experimental study was consisted of materials test and structural test of concrete water channel. The mechanical properties of concrete including blast furnace slag were investigated. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was used as basic binder and the effect of the replacement of blast furnace slag for OPC was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength, elastic modulus and modulus of rupture. Test results show that the compressive strengths and modulus of ruptures of mixtures containing blast furnace slag were equivalent to those of OPC concrete. In addition, the structural capacity of concrete water channel with up to the replacement ratio of blast furnace slag of 45% was greater than the required strength in KS specification.

In these days, there are out of natural sands in the construction field. It is required that development of substitute material for natural material. The blast-furnace slag could be a good alternative material in this situation. It can help resource recycling and the protection of environment. This study presents that the strength properties of mortar using air-cooled blast-furnace slag sand and water-cooled blast-furnace slag sand. The mixing design of this study have a few factors, three type of unit water, four types of W/C, five types of substitution rate. When air-cooled furnace slag sand used in mortar, as substitution rate is higher, 3, 7-days compression strength and flexural strength are going up. But, in case of water-cooled furnace slag sand mortar, strengths are going down.

The enhanced slag fineness and the batch water of low water-to-cement ratio(W/C) were employed in order to improve the early strength of blast-furnace slag blended cement at low temperature. A grinding aid was used to grind the blast-furnace slag into the fineness of 6,280$\textrm{cm}^2$/g (Blaine), and this fine slag was then homogeneously mixed with the ordinary Portland cement to produce the blast-furnace slag blended cement containing 40% slag by weight composition. On the other hand, the batch water could be reduced from W/C=0.50 (KS L 5105) to W/C=0.33 through a commercial, naphthalene type superplasticizer. Through the method mentioned above, the early strength of the blast-furnace slag blended cement at low temperature could be enhanced even somewhat higher than the Portland cement strength. And the microsturcture of the cement was studied by both the pore structure analysis and the A.C. impedance measurement.

In this study, when ground granulated blast-furnace slag is intermixed to mortar, the strength test, watertightness test, resistance to chemical attack of hardened mortar are compared and analyzed according to the replacement rate of slag. w/(cc+Bs) and Ground Granulated Blast-furnace slag. As a result, compared with ordinary portland cement, ground granulated blast-furnace slag intermixed concrete shows development of a long term strength, chemical-resistance, and excellent watertightness.

The object of this study is to investigate the strength characteristics and the freeze-thaw resistance of high strength concrete incorporating fine blast furnace slag. Major experimental variables were the water/cement ratio, maximum size of coarse aggregate, and cement types such as ordinary portland and slag cement. The results were as follows ; The workability of fresh concrete incorporating fine blast furnace slag was better than that of OPC(ordinary Portland cement) in terms of slump. The freeze-thaw resistance showed better than that of OPC, keeping more than 90% of relative modules of elasticity after 506 cycles and showing only a hair crack at surface without serious damage. Thus, the fine blast furnace slag might be recycled at concrete to make high strength concrete at fields.

It has been reported that current amount of coal ash remains almost 100 million tons and 5.85 million tons of blast furnace slag are generated annually in Vietnam. Vietnam government has encouraged the industries to increase the use of coal ash and blast furnace slag as construction materials as well as in cement production institutionally. However, limited can be applied in the construction field yet. Therefore, in this study, basic performance analysis on five different kinds of fly ash from Vietnam was conducted. In addition, the performances of blast furnace slags generated in Vietnam and Korea were compared and evaluated. Soil stabilizer compressive strength test and solidified soil unconfined compressive strength test were conducted as the basic data for the development of soil stabilizer applied to the soil mixing method using fly ash and blast furnace slag generated in Vietnam. The results showed that the Vietnamese fly ash and blast furnace slag can be used as the raw materials for soil stabilization and improvement.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag to the development of the Powdered Ready-mixed Shotcrete. First of all, after accomplishing SEM analysis and Leaching Test, the laboratory and field experiments for evaluating the utility of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag were performed. As a result of SEM and Leaching test, the environmental stability was confirmed. That is, non-detection of harmful lists and dense shotcrete structure result from mixing Granulated Blast Furnace Slag. As a result of lab. and field test, Blast Furnace Slag is superior to Plain Batch in improving strength and durability. And it will be able to improve to some extent the problem caused by the delayed reaction of existing Granulated Blast Furnace Slag with alkali activated material. Also the proper amount of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag is estimated to be under 30%. Finally, it is possible that Granulated Blast Furnace Slag can apply to economical recycling and development of the Ready-mixed Shotcrete for its price is only about 5% of Silica-finne's price.

In this study, a test has been carried out to solve the problem with ground granulated blast-furnace slag, low early strength & lack of supply and to find out a way to use as concrete admixture of the ultrafine blaine air cooling slag which is all disposed as the by product of air cooling slag and its test was conducted to the replacement rate of ultrafine blaine air cooling slag & mixing condition of every concrete admixtures by type for the purpose of obtaining later a basic data for practical use of the cement that used ultrafine blaine air cooling slag by conducting comparative analysis. If ultrafine-blaine air cooling slag is used to the concrete following the results, a high efficiency water reducing agent won't be needed much for flow acquisition due to a high increase in flow, and the stripping time of concrete form will be shortened thanks to the acquisition of early strength, And though, it has the problems with long term strength which is similar or a little lower than the 3 types of ground granulated blast-furnace slag, it's still applicable as the substitute materials for 3 types of ground granulated blast-furnace slag at 10, 15% replacement rate of ultrafine-blaine air cooling slag, at which it shows higher activation index than 3 types of ground granulated blast-furnace slag.

This experimental Study presents the flow properties of mortar Using the Blast-furnace Slag Sand. It gives following result. The substitution rate is inversely proportional to flow. But W/C ratio is directly proportional to flow. Consequently Flow characteristics of the Blast-furnace mortar is simillar to the river sand mortar.
