Use of Concrete Containing Slag Cement in Transportation Structures in Virginia

This collection contains eight papers that provide insight on recent slag cement concrete developments in academia, the concrete industry, and in real life applications of slag cement concrete. Topics include materials aspects related to the benefits of adding slag in concrete to prevent alkali-silica reactions, reducing drying shrinkage, and reducing the potential for thermal cracking during the curing period. Also covered are high-volume applications of slag cement in: concrete for transportation structures, high-performance concrete pavements, mass concrete, and high-density concrete.
