ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
The construction industry significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, with cement production responsible for 80–90% of this impact. To reduce emissions, the use of SCMs, such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), has gained attention due to its environmental benefits and enhanced durability. However, increasing GGBS content affects properties like setting time and strength development, and challenges grinding efficiency due to GGBS’s harder texture. This paper investigates the effects of increasing GGBS content on cement performance and explores the role of grinding aids in improving production capacity and energy efficiency, aiming to optimize GGBS use without compromising cement quality.
