This document provides information about using slag from the steel industry in concrete as a sustainable construction material. It discusses JSW Cement, a manufacturer of Portland slag cement and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in India. The document notes that slag can replace cement and fine aggregates in concrete. It presents information on the properties of slag aggregates and processed granulated blast furnace slag, and test results showing slag sand in concrete can achieve equal or higher strengths than river sand. The document promotes the use of slag aggregates as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to river sand.

What is sustainability
How much of this are we
addressing w.r.t. concrete?
‘What’ is sustainable, and
for ‘Whom’; e.g. ‘Bad
concrete’ is sustainable
General consensus:
•Lower CO2
•Lower energy
•Prolonged life

15. What is a green building?
High-performance building that reduces its environmental footprint through
sustainable site selection and conservation of energy and resources, while
improving the health and productivity of its occupants
With more and more people going green in an effort to save the environment,
the demand for eco-friendly green homes has been on the rise.
. Green homes are not only beneficial for the environment but also for the
economy.
Green homes are designed to be energy efficient and environment friendly.
These buildings use natural sustainable materials provides many benefits not
found in traditional building materials in terms of comfort and economy.

16. Sustainability in Concrete making
Various ways to implement sustainability in concrete:
Ingredients Approach
Cement Reduce consumption of OPC per cum by replacing with
supplementary cementitious materials-Flyash /slag
Aggregates Recycle – fresh Concrete / Demolished waste-substitute of
recycled for virgin materials
Fine Aggregates Reduce River sand use – Alternate CSS/Slag sand
Water Recycle water, Recharge Ground water
Improved durability By doubling the service life of structure brings down half
the amount of materials needed for replacement.
Doubling the concrete strength for strength controlled
members
Brings down the requirement of materials

17. Some necessary points for achieving Durability
(Performance).
In mix design we give importance to packing of course materials we
should give importance to particle packing of materials in the binders
To keep the water/binder ratio as low as possible.
Should use good quality fine materials like slag, fly ash etc.
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF EXCESSIVE USE OF OPC & WATER

22. UN Report on mining of sand across the world
Mining operations outside the U.S., in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, pose a different set of
problems, although the market driver for sand worldwide is much the same--urbanization.
According to the UN, cities are expanding at an historic rate. Half the world’s population now lives
in an urban area. Since 1950, city populations have grown by 400 percent. Today there are 4
billion metropolitans.
Over the next 30 years, another 2.5 billion will be moving in. Serving their needs will require
concrete—a lot of it. Housing, office and retail spaces, roads, schools, hospitals, stadiums and
more all require sand.
Global demand for mined materials stands today between 47 to 59 billion tons. Gravel and sand
comprise 68 to 85 percent of the total. As people move into cities, the demand for sand and
aggregates moves with them.
The explosive growth of the global sand market comes with consequences. Mining’s impact on
the environment and society is surprising—more than that it is disturbing.

31. M-Sand advantages
Offsets Construction Defects
M-Sand has optimum initial and final setting time as well as excellent fineness which will help to
overcome the deficiencies of concrete such as segregation, bleeding, honeycombing, voids
and capillary.
Economy
Usage of M-Sand can drastically reduce the cost since like river sand, it does not contain
impurities and wastage is NIL. In International Construction Scenario, no river sand is used at
all, only sand is manufactured and used, which gives superior strength and its cubical shape
ensures significant reduction in the cement used in the concrete
Eco-Friendly
M-Sand is the only alternative to river sand. Dredging of river beds to get river sand will lead to
environmental disaster like ground water depletion, water scarcity, threat to the safety of
bridges, dams etc.
Beside with the Government ban on dredging of River beds to quarry river sand, as part of the
growing concern for environment protection, M-Sand will be the only available option.
Steel Industry by products for sustainable

32. M-Sand advantages
Greater Durability
M-Sand has balanced physical and chemical properties that can withstand any aggressive
environmental and climatic conditions as it has enhanced durability, greater strength and
overall economy. Usage of M-Sand can overcome the defects occurring in concrete such as
honey combing, segregation, voids, capillary etc.
High Strength
The superior shape, proper gradation of fines, smooth surface texture and consistency in
production parameter of chemically stable sands provides greater durability and higher
strength to concrete by overcoming deficiencies like segregation, bleeding, honey combing,
voids and capillary.
Greater Workability
The crusher dust is flaky and angular in shape which is troublesome in working. There is no
plasticity in the mortar which makes it even difficult for the mason to work, whereas the
cubical shape with grounded edge and superior gradation gives good plasticity to mortar
providing excellent workability.

34. To reduce the burden on the environment, alternative aggregates have been
extensively investigated.
Looking to the quantum of requirement, quality and properties future lies with
one material - Slags
Slag aggregates has been proven as a suitable material for replacing natural
coarse and fine aggregates .
In all developed countries, the use of Slags as aggregates to replace natural
sand/rocks is well established and is in regular practice.

35. What is slag ?
“Slag” is a non-metallic product, consisting of glass containing
silicates and Alumino Silicates of lime produced in steel industries.
Slag is a byproduct of metal smelting processes, Manufactured
under quality-controlled conditions.
Granulated slag is obtained by rapidly chilling (Quenching) the
molten slag from the furnace by means of water or steam and air.
Does not contain organic matter, clay, silt and shells.

103. GGBS approved by Indian Road Congress Code upto 50% Cement
replacement in Concrete Pavements
Based on CRRI investigations,
IRC has reviewed the usage of
GGBS in PQC and on 3rd Nov
2017 the new IRC 15:2017 has
been released
The revised IRC 15: 2017 has
approved use of GGBS in
Pavement Quality Concrete
upto 50% replacement of OPC
NHAI and other Infra projects are the next Big

• Slag is non hazardous, non toxic.
• Slag is free of any impurities like silt clay etc
• Used extensively for civil/road construction in developed countries
• Slag sand, if used can stop mining of river sand
• Consider slag sand as a Green Material

112. For mass foundation concrete we can use higher % of GGBS
Cost effective as compare to normal concrete
Require positive approach from Owners/Architects / Contractors
Take higher strengths into consideration when designing ( or 56 days strength instead
of 28 days Strength)
Better Durability
Preservation of natural resources for future generation.
Use of addition of GGBS with OPC should be made mandatory expect for few special
requirements. by the govt depts, Structural consultants and Architects
