The properties of 525# garde steel slag cements were investigated in t
he present research, including: long-term strength, sulphate attack, c
arbonation, sea water attack, and alkali-aggregate reaction. The study
shows that steel slag cement is characterized by high later strength,
slight expansion, good resistance to harmful materials such as sulpha
te, carbon dioxide, and sea water, reducing the alkali-aggregate react
ion. Its pore structures have also been studied. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sci
