Abstract
The effect of copper slag on the hydration of cement-based materials i s studied. Up to 15% by weight of copper slag was used as a portland c ement replacement. Hydration reactions were studied through semiquanti tative Xray diffraction and TGA/DTA. Samples of copper slag and hydrat ed lime (ASTM type S) were used to test the pozzolanic properties of t he slag. The porosity was examined using mercury intrusion porosimetry . A decrease in capillary porosity was observed while the gel porosity was increased. A significant increase in the compressive strength for up to 1 year is observed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
