In this work,strength assessments and percentage of water absorption of self compacting concrete containing ground granu-lated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and Al2O3 nanoparticles as binder have been investigated.Portland cement was replaced by different amounts of GGBFS and the properties of concrete specimens were investigated.Although it negatively impacts the physical and mechanical properties of concrete at early ages of curing,GGBFS was found to improve the physical and me-chanical properties of concrete up to 45 wt% at later ages.Al2O3 nanoparticles with the average particle size of 15 nm were added partially to concrete with the optimum content of GGBFS and physical and mechanical properties of the specimens were measured.Al2O3 nanoparticle as a partial replacement of cement up to 3.0 wt% could accelerate C-S-H gel formation as a re-sult of increased crystalline Ca(OH)2 amount at the early ages and hence increase strength and improve the resistance to water permeability of concrete specimens.The increase of the Al2O3 nanoparticles’ content by more than 3.0 wt% would cause the reduction of the strength because of the decreased crystalline Ca(OH)2 content required for C-S-H gel formation.Several em-pirical relationships have been presented to predict flexural and split tensile strength of the specimens by means of the corre-sponding compressive strength at a certain age of curing.Accelerated peak appearance in conduction calorimetry tests,more weight loss in thermogravimetric analysis and more rapid appearance of the peaks related to hydrated products in X-ray dif-fraction results,all indicate that Al2O3 nanoparticles could improve mechanical and physical properties of the concrete speci-mens.
