Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
(GGBS)
GGBS is
mainly used as a partial replacement of cement in concrete. When added as an
admixture to concrete, it acts as a stabilising agent and improves the quality
of concrete. In the production of ready-mixed concrete, GGBS replaces a
substantial portion of the Portland cement component, generally about 60-70%.
