Abstract

Abstract: FuturBeton, a high performance concrete, is of great ecological and economical interest and provides high strength and durability due to nano-activated ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS). The application of ground granulated blastfurnace slag instead of clinker in composite cements leads to CO2 -emission saving but normally causes a decrease of reactivity and strength because of its low hydraulicity. For a high performance building material a highly effective cementitious binder with high reactivity is inevitable. FuturZement is such a binder and it contains highly reactive nanostructured GGBS activated by high kinetic processing applying the Simoloyer ® technology.
