Effect of components fineness on strength of blast furnace slag cement

The strength development of 1:1 mixes of clinker and blast furnace slag with varying fineness of components from 3000 to 6000 cm(2)/g has been studied. Overall results indicate that in manufacturing blast furnace slag cement (BFSC), it is not only the fineness of the clinker-slag mix but also of the individual components which govern the choice of the mix composition for a desired strength.
