Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) – The World’s Most Sustainable Building Material to Produce Strong and More Durable Low Carbon Concrete GGBS is Obtain By Quenching Molten Iron Slag - (a By Product of Iron & Steel Making) from a Blast Furnace in Water or Steam, to Produce a Glassy, Granular Product that is Then Dried & Ground Into fine Powder. It is Used to Make Durable Concrete Structure in Combination with Ordinary Portland Cement & other Pozzolanic Material. It is Widely Used in Europe, Usa, & in Asia for Its Superiority in Concrete Durability and Extending the Life Span of Buildings from Fifty to More Than One Hundred Years. Use of GGBS Significantly Reduces the Risk of Damages Caused By Alkali-silica Reaction, It Has Higher Resistance to Chloride, Sulfate & other Chemicals. Basics of GGBS It is An Off-white Colored Powder Its Colour is Lighter Than a Colored Concrete smoother & More Defect Free Surface Lower Pigment Requirements – 20% + Saving Can Be Used as Partial Replacement for White Cement Chemical Properties Calcium Oxide – 42% Siliica – 30 % Alumina- 19% Magnesia – 5% Manganese – 0.15% Environmental Benefits Conserves Natural Resources & Reduces Mining Reduces Energy Consumption By Approximately 42% of the Embodied Energy Required to Manufacture Concrete & Its Constituent Material. Save Up to 59% of the Embodied Carbon Dioxide Emissions and 42% of the Embodied Energy Required to Manufacture and Its Constituent Materials. Increases Durability & Service Life/reduces Maintenance Burden for the Structure (potentiality), Particularly Against Abrasion & Impact. Advantages of GGBS Environment Friendly – Energy Saving CO2 Emission Reduction Natural Resources Conservation Improve Carbon Footprints Durability Increased Resistance to Acids Increased Resistance to Salt Better Comprehensive Strength - GGBS Has a Slower ‘strength Gain’ Compared to Pure Opc in the Early Stages, It Will Eventually have a Higher Ultimate Strength. Strength Pattern Can also Be Controlled Through Concrete Mix Designs. Applications High Rise Constructions In Challenging Construction to Pump Concrete High Performance Concrete Where Low Ratio of Water to Binder For High Flow or Self Compaction Concrete Precast Concrete for Tunnel,Bridge,Segment Al Construction Block Hollow Core Slab Post Tension/ Pre Stress Concrete Slab Concrete for Dam and Spillway & Tunnels Bore Piled Foundation Port, Jetty and Dock Construction, Pier and Marina Structures,Sea Retaining Walls,River Mouth Road Crossing Drainage Channels,Pumping Station Concrete/reinforced Concrete Tubes Used for Sewage Network Underwater Concrete Injections & Underground Concrete Wells Highways ,Runways,Underground Structure Ready Mix Concrete, Pre Cast Concrete & Mass Concrete Structure Subject to Acid Rains or Chloride Attacks Nuclear Waste Encapsulation, Biogas Plants, Geothermal Plants Fertilizer Depot Simply GGBS Can Be Used Anywhere, Where Concrete is Produced By Using Portland Cement.
