| Abstract | ||
| The need to produce high performance concrete led the researches to try to exploit the potentialities of natural or artificial materials so as to improve the performance of concrete . Iron furnace slag has been used as an alternative of proportion on cement after being processed , since its main oxides are similar to those of cement . In this investigation , the effect of slag was studied including compressive strength and absorption of concrete in 7 , 28 days were investigated . Results demonstrated that the inclusion of 6% slag as a partial replacement by weight of cement showed superior performance over those of the other concretes , where the percentage increase in compressive strength after 28 days relative to reference concrete was 19.5 % and the percentage reduction in absorption was 32 % . | ||
