Abstract: Steel slag has similar mineral composition with cement, which can be used as a potential cementitious material. However, the high content of steel slag is not conducive to the development of early properties of concrete. Steel slag/cement-based cementitious materials with 30%(by weight) steel slag as the research object were used to discuss the influence of nano-SiO2 on its early properties. Physical and mechanical properties were evaluated by measuring fluidity, setting time, and compressive strength. The hydration process and hydration products of steel slag/cement-based cementitious materials with nano-SiO2 were analyzed by micro-thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DCS-TG). Results show that when the mass fraction of nano-SiO2 is 3%, nano-SiO2 consumes large amounts of Ca(OH)2 due to its high pozzolanic activity. Meanwhile, due to the crystallization nucleation and micro-aggregate filling effect of nano-SiO2 particles, the hydration of steel slag and cement is promoted, and the heat release rate at the initial stage of hydration is improved, thus improving the mechanical properties of steel slag/cement-based cementitious materials, and the 28 d compressive strength increases by 14.0%.

Key words: nano-SiO2, steel slag, cement, hydration, compressive strength
