Topçu and Bilir (2010), in their studies on shrinkage done by GBFS as
fine aggregate, determined that by increasing the GBFS rate, there is a
decrease in shrinkage cracks. The reason of this is the gap form related
to GBFS structure and, linked with the same reason, flexural strength,
compressive strength and modulus of elasticity decrease.

Alkali-activated slags
: By means of the activation of GGBFS with alkalis
such as NaoH, NaCo
3
and NaSio
3
super-qualified concrete can be
produced. Topçu and Canbaz (2008) found that alkali-activated mortar
with GGBFS does not exceed the danger limit in ASR.
