Project description

This study will identify what quantities of slag cement less than 50% will provide both long-term durability and the required compressive strength. It will also identify if the reduced slag cement percentages can be used for all environmental conditions or with certain restrictions based on sulfate/chloride resistance results. Lastly, it will identify a short-term qualification procedure/test methods to expedite approvals of these concrete mix designs.
