JIS A 6206:2013 PDF Download

JIS A 6206:2013 standard provides specifications for the use of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) as an admixture in concrete and mortar. The standard defines the characteristics and requirements of GGBFS in order to ensure its suitability and performance in concrete applications.

The purpose of this standard is to promote the use of GGBFS as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional cementitious materials. GGBFS is a byproduct of the iron and steel production process and is extensively used in the construction industry due to its pozzolanic properties. By incorporating GGBFS into concrete mixtures, it enhances the strength, durability, and workability of the concrete, while also reducing the environmental impact associated with cement production.

JIS A 6206:2013 specifies the chemical composition, physical properties, and performance requirements of GGBFS. It sets limits and parameters for elements such as silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and alumina content. The standard also includes guidelines for the fineness, specific surface area, and compressive strength of GGBFS.
