Study on Expansive Property of Steel Slag Expansive Cement Mi Chunyan Lin ZongshouChemical and physical properties and expansive property have been studied for steel slag expansive cement. The in- fluence of steel slag proportions and fineness on expansion are presented. This paper discuss the expanding mechanism and typical properties of steel slag expansive cement. The hydration of free-lime in steel slag leads to the hydrates local accumulation,the vol- ume increase of void and the apparent volume expansion.steel slag; expanding mechanism; free-lime
