Abstract
This research examines the effects of using a combination of Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) and Hydrated Lime (HL) as alternative cement ingredients on the mechanical and microstructural properties of ternary mixed concrete (Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)+GGBS+HL). The OPC was replaced with GGBS in increments of 10% from 10% to 70%, while HL was substituted at levels ranging from 0% to 20% in increments of 10%. The results showed that the highest compressive strength (56.20 MPa), split tensile strength (4.25 MPa), and flexural strength (5.58 MPa) were observed for the ternary concrete mixture containing 60% OPC, 30% GGBS, and 10% HL with 0.36 water binder ratio after 28 days of curing.
