The strength development of mortar containing blast-furnace slag and Portland cement was investigated. Mortar property can be maintained with advanced mineral admixtures such as blast furnace slag powder as partial replacement of cement 5% to 30%. Compressive strength of blast furnace slag mortar with different dosage of slag was studied as a partial replacement of cement. From the experimental investigations, it has been observed that the optimum replacement of GGBFS to cement without changing much the compressive strength is 15%.
