Sustainable Construction Materials: Lecture 3 - GGBS in Concrete Technology | Civil Engineering

GGBS in Concrete Technology | Properties, Uses & Sustainability | Civil Engineering

GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) is a key sustainable construction material widely used in modern concrete technology. In this detailed civil engineering lecture-style video, we explain GGBS concrete from fundamentals to real-world applications.

This video covers:
• What is GGBS in civil engineering
• Manufacturing process of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
• Chemical and physical properties of GGBS
• How GGBS works in concrete hydration
• Effect of GGBS on workability, strength, and durability
• Advantages and limitations of GGBS concrete
• Applications of GGBS in bridges, marine structures, foundations, and mass concrete
• Role of GGBS in sustainable and low-carbon construction

GGBS is extensively used as a partial replacement of cement to improve durability, sulphate resistance, chloride resistance, and long-term strength of concrete. It is especially suitable for marine environments, aggressive soils, and large infrastructure projects.

This video is useful for:
• Civil engineering students
• GATE and competitive exam aspirants
• Structural engineers and site engineers
• Faculty and construction professionals
• Anyone learning concrete technology and sustainable construction

By the end of this video, you will clearly understand where GGBS should be used, where it should be avoided, and how it contributes to sustainable infrastructure development.
