Abstract : Sustainability and resource efficiency are becoming increasingly important issues within today’s construction industry and the changing attitude towards secondary materials has encouraged the possibility of utilizing granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) as a sand substitute in cement mortar. In this investigation, cement mortar mix 1:3 was selected for 0, 25, 50 and 100% replacements of natural sand with GBFS for constant w/c ratio of 0.5. In addition ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) as mineral admixture was used to replace 20, 40, 60 and 80% of cement. Mortar flow behavior and its compressive strength are investigated.
