Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), due to its pozzolanic nature, could be a great asset for themodern construction needs, because slag concretes can be of high performance, if appropriately designed. The use ofGGBS as a cementitious material as well as fine filler is being increasingly advocated for the production of HighPerformance Concrete (HPC), Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) and Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), etc. However,for obtaining the required high performance in any of these concrete composites, slag should be properly proportionedso that the resulting concrete would satisfy both the strength and performance criteria requirements of the structure. Thepresent paper is an effort towards presenting a mix design methodology for the design of GGBS concretes based on theefficiency concept. The methodology will be successfully verified through a proper experimental investigation and theGGBS concretes were evaluated for their strength characteristics. The results will indicate that the proposed method isfor proportioning mixes with maximum possible replacement of cement by GGBS for achieving strength.
