What is Concrete Proportioning? - Slag Cement
In concrete, slag cement may be proportioned from 20 to 80 percent depending on the application. It is substituted for portland cement on a one-to-one basis by mass. The proportion of slag cement used is usually dictated by requirements for strength, durability, time of set, heat generation, or the resistance of the concrete mixture to alkali ...

As reported by Saito et al., autogenous shrinkage of concrete may be reduced by modifying blast-furnace slag fineness used and the content of gypsum in the binder [7]. Recently, GGBS with a specific surface area of at least 2750 cm2/g and less than 3500 cm2/g was developed. This has been used for low heat slag cement as a concrete additive [8].

If the slag cement particles are finer than the Portland cement particles, the rate of bleeding will decrease, and in contrast, if the slag cement particles are coarser than the Portland cement particles, bleeding will increase when substituted on an equal-mass basis. The setting time of concrete containing slag cement is commonly retarded.

What is Slag Cement? (with pictures)
Slag cement has actually been used in concrete projects in the United States for over a century. Its earliest use was documented in 1774, when it was combined with slaked lime and used as a mortar.This cement was first used commercially in Germany in the 1860s, and it was such a success that engineers in 1889 decided to build the Paris underground metro using slag-lime cement.
