Abstract: With the increased industrialization, generation of industrial by-products has increased significantly. There are many types of industrial by-products depending upon the industry. Utilization of such types of by-products has become an enormous challenge. One such type of by-product is ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) which is produced from the blast-furnaces of iron and steel industries. GGBS is very useful in the design and development of high quality cement paste/mortar and concrete.
