Grounded blast furnace slag is one of common supplementary cementitious materials in Portland cement concrete, and is capable of improving the performance of concrete and reducing the costs. Once hardened, the dosage of slag in concrete matrix is hard to evaluate. Three types of ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) are used to prepare cement-slag pastes with different water binder ratios, and the finenesses and original dosages of GBFS are various. Backscattered electron (BSE) images combining with image analysis method are used to analyze the areal fraction of GBFS in the pastes. The feasibility of this method is analyzed, and it is proved that the method is effective in quantitative analysis on the content of GBFS in hardened cement pastes. The multivariate linear correlations between areal fraction of GBFS, curing age, GBFS fineness, original dosage of GBFS, are created. It is capable of obtaining original dosage of GBFS based on existing parameters. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
