Abstract

The construction industry is looking for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to conventional building materials. As the world faces increasing environmental challenges, the need for greener construction practices has become more urgent. Cement production is known for its high energy consumption and significant carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it is essential to find ways to reduce the environmental impact of cement production and use. One promising area of research is the use of industrial byproducts such as steel slag to partially replace cement in concrete. The use of these by-products not only solves the problem of waste disposal but also provides a sustainable solution to improve the properties of building materials. When mixed with cement, steel slag participates in pozzolanic reactions, in which reactive silica from the slag reacts with calcium hydroxide, produced during the hydration of cement, to form calcium silicate hydrate gel (CSH). This CSH gel is responsible for the strength and durability of concrete. Incorporating steel slag can improve the mechanical properties of concrete, including compressive, flexural, and tensile strength. In addition, steel slag can improve the durability properties of concrete, such as resistance to chemical attack, reduced permeability, and increased resistance to physical and chemical degradation over time. This paper investigates the durability properties of cement when partially replaced by steel slag, focusing on various aspects of durability, including resistance to chemical attack, mechanical strength, and long-term performance under various environmental conditions. The study includes a comprehensive experimental program designed to evaluate the impact of steel slag on the durability of concrete through a series of tests and analyses.
