The work presented in this thesis involves the study of drying shrinkage behavior of mortars and field concrete mixtures made with ternary cementitious blends. The thesis is composed of two papers resulting from the study: (1) ShortTerm Drying Shrinkage of Ternary Blends and (2) Drying Shrinkage of Ternary Blends for Use in Transportation Structure.

typically used as a grinding agent for cement. In this thesis study TIPA is used in order to increase the ultimate strength of the concrete whose early strengths are increased by Ca(NO 3) 2. In order to achieve the goal, the required values of the admixtures were prepared and their 6 .

concrete to make it suitable as a "Green Building" material. Foremost and most successful in this regard is the use suitable substitutes for Portland cement, especially those that are byproducts of industrial processes, like fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and silica fume. Also

This PhD thesis focuses on the use of blastfurnace slag (BFS) as cement replacing material. Blastfurnace slag, a byproduct of the steel production, obtains latenthydraulic properties after rapid cooling and can thus replace clinker in cement.
