Özet

Usages of by-products in concrete production are

important subjects for sustainable development and industrial

ecology concepts. The usages as mineral admixtures or fine

aggregates improve durability properties of concrete and thus,

increase economical and environmental advantages for concrete

industry. Gains such as reducing the consumption of natural

resources and energy, increasing economical values of the byproducts

or wastes and preventing the waste depots are very

important for the world future. In recent years, for this reason, the

usages of by-products and wastes in concrete or cement industry have

become more important day by day. Thus, the production of

environmental friendly, durable and economical concrete has also

become the main target. In this study, the sulfate and high

temperature resistances of concrete mortar specimens produced with

ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA)

replacing cement are investigated. Compressive strength test results

for all series related to types of cure types and materials, exposure

times for these cure types, temperatures and replacement ratios

(pozzolan content) are discussed. Consequently, the optimum

pozzolan contents are determined for producing sulfate and high

temperature resistant mortars.
