Abstract
The research reported in this paper is regarded as a series of tests, highlighting the application of nickel slag along with superplasticizer-blended cement-based paste in the production of porous concrete. Performance at the early age of three and seven days related to compressive strength, elastic modulus and position ration serves as the focus of discussion in this paper. The results indicate the satisfied outcome in appearance and shape resulting in a good performance of porous concrete made of slag nickel and natural crushed coarse aggregates to bear compressive loads at the early age of three and seven days. It is thus confirmed that the hydration process in the superplasticizer-blended cement-based cement paste results in the stronger binding to nickel slag from the early age of three to seven days. The modulus of elasticity reported in this study provides an input in the design criteria for the application of porous concrete at the early age.
