摘要：Mortar is the material used in masonry construction to fill the gaps between the bricks and blocks usedin construction. Mortar is a mixture of fine aggregate, cement & water and applied as a paste which then sets hard. It isvery clear that among the all components, fine aggregate and water is largely available material in India at very lowcost. As cement is comparatively high cost it would be advisable to use other locally available industrial andagricultural waste material to replace the cement partially. Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS), a nonmetallicand non-hazardous waste material from Iron Industry, is suitable for mortar mix and enhanced properties ofmortar like compressive strength, reduce the drying shrinkage, heat of hydration and retards the setting time of cementetc. The main objective of this research work is to determine the optimum content of GGBS which can be suitably usedunder the Indian conditions. To fulfill this objective various properties of concrete using GGBS have been studied.
