The effect of ground steel-making slag on microstructure and composition of hydration products of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was investigated by mercury intrusion porosimetry ( MIP ), X- ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Results show that ground steel-making slag is a kind of high activity mineral additives and it can raise the longer-age strength of OPC mortar. The total porosity and average pore diameter of OPC paste with groand steel-making slag increase with the increase of the amount of ground steelmaking slag replacing OPC at various ages, while after 28 days most pores in OPC paste with ground steel-making slag do not influeace the strength because the diameter of those pores is in the rang of 20 to 50nm. The hydration mechanism of ground steel-making slag is similar to that of OPC but different from that of fly ash and blast furnace slag. The hydration products of ground steel-making slag contain quite a lot of Ca( OH)2 in long age.
