This study is aimed at exploring the effect of steel slag powder (SSP), fly ash (FA), and silica fume (SF) on the mechanical properties and durability of cement mortar. SSP, SF, and FA were used as partial replacement of the Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). It was showed that the compressive and bending strength of steel slag powder were slightly lower than that of OPC. An increase in the SSP content caused a decrease in strength. However, the growth rate of compressive strength of SSP2 (20% replacement by the weight of OPC) at the curing ages of 90 days was about 8% higher than that of OPC, and the durability of SSP2 was better than that of OPC. The combination of mineral admixtures improved the later strength, water impermeability, and sulfate resistance compared with OPC and SSP2. The compressive strength of SSPFA (SSP and SF) at 90 days reached 70.3 MPa. The results of X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy indicated that SSP played a synergistic role with FA or SF to improve the performance of cement mortar.

The interfacial properties of reactive powder concretes (RPCs), other known as ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), containing steel slag powder and ultra fine fly ash are studied in this paper. The microstrctural characterization of interfacial transition zones (ITZs), including the aggregate-cement paste interfacial zone and the steel fiber-paste interfacial zone, is investigated by SEM. The microhardness of the aggregate-paste ITZ and the steel slag-paste ITZ is studied and the bond strength of steel fiber in matrix is tested through fiber pullout tests. The results indicate that the microhardness of the steel slag-paste ITZ is slightly higher than that of the aggregate-paste ITZ, which implies the advantage of the substitution of quartz powder with steel slag powder in preparation of RPCs to some degrees. Moreover, the hardness of these two ITZs is higher than that of the hardened paste. A certain amount of hydration products has been observed exsiting on the surface of steel fiber by SEM and the bond strength of steel fiber-martix is up to 9.3MPa. These interfical properties are definitely critical to obtain high performance of UHPCs containing steel slag powder and fly ash.

The mineral admixtures mixed into concrete have important effects on concrete performance. The workability and mechanical properties of the concrete are studied with different dosages of admixtures, such as steel slag powder, blast furnace slag powder and fly ash. The results show that fly ash has more advantages in improving the performance of the concrete. When steel slag powder, blast furnace slag powder and fly ash, respectively, replace the amount of cement to 30%, 30%, 20%, the mechanical properties of the concrete are improved significantly.

The durability, such as chloride ion permeability, freeze-thaw and sulfate attack resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) having a large amount, ranged from 42% to 48% by weight of binder, of mineral admixtures including steel slag powder (SS), ultrafine fly ash (UFFA) and silica fume (SF) was studied and the microstructure of selected UHPC compositions was investigated by Mercury porosimetry in this paper. Moreover, the relationship between durability and microstructure of UHPC was analyzed. The mercury porosimetry studies demonstrated the very low porosity and a high proportion of the innocuous pores as well as the very small pore size in UHPCs, whose most probable pore diameter did not exceed 10 nm. This porous structure of UHPCs would definitely enable the material have excellent durability.

AbstractIn this study, the pressure sensitivity and temperature sensitivity of the diphasic electric conduction concrete were investigated by measuring the resistivity using the four-electrode method. The diphasic electric conduction concrete was obtained by mixing nano and micro conductive materials (carbon nanofibers, nano carbon black and steel slag powder) into the carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC). The results indicated that, with the increase of conduction time, the resistivity of CFRC decreased slightly at the initial stage and then became steady, while the resistivity of CFRC containing nano carbon black had a sharp decrease at the dosage of 0.6%. With the increase of compression load, the coefficient of resistivity variation of CFRC containing nano carbon black and steel slag powder changed little. The coefficient of resistivity variation increased with the increase of steel slag powder in the dry environment, and CFRC had preferable pressure sensitivity when the mass fractions of carbon fiber and carbon nanofiber were 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively. Besides, in the humid environment, the coefficient of resistivity variation decreased with the increase of steel slag powder, and the diphasic electric conduction concrete containing 0.4% carbon fibers and 20% steel slag powder had the best pressure sensitivity under the damp environment. Moreover, in the dry environment, CFRC containing nano and micro conductive materials presented better temperature sensitivity in the heating stage than in the cooling stage no matter carbon nanofiber, nano carbon black or steel slag powder was used, especially for the CFRC containing steel slag powder.
