Recycling of industrial wastes and by-products can help reduce the cost of
waste treatment prior to disposal and eventually preserve natural resources and
energy. In thiswork, the pore structure and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of
concrete incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and
metakaolin (MK) were analyzed. Some techniques including mercury intrusion
porosimetry (MIP), microhardness tester and scanning electronic microscopy
(SEM) were employed to characterize the effects of GGBSand MK on the pore
structure, microhardness and morphology of ITZ at 28 days.
This paper presents the results of a study on effects of ground granulated blast
furnace slag and metakaolin on pore structure,ITZ, compressive strength and
durability aspects of concrete and thermodynamic stability of hydrate
phases.The results and conclusion
