Question
WHICH ARE MAIN SUPPLER OF gbbs cements in india/

Does anyone know of a supplier of concrete blocks made from GGBS?

In the UK there are many manufacturers using GGBS in concrete blocks replacing cement in varying proportions, these include -

Marshalls, Hanson, Plasmor, Bison, Stocks Bros.

GGBS can also be supplied in Readymix Concrete from many sources including Hanson, Tarmac, Lafarge, Aggregate Industries (Bardon Concrete, Cemex, C&G Concrete, Smiths and many more independent outlets, if you ask the concrete supplier to supply a CEM111 concrete it will contain GGBS.

What controversy?
The controversy section appears to be e-graffiti. What gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.23.48.164 (talk) 20:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Needs copyediting to reduce redundancy
I'm in the process of wikifying/copyediting this article, but I'm running across information in it repeated two and three times. Since I don't know much about the subject matter, I'm not sure which copy of the repeated information to keep (except for a couple of places where I felt sufficiently confident). Someone needs to rewrite parts of this article to streamline, and better organize, the information. I've left some HTML comments in the source to (perhaps) aid future editors. - dcljr (talk) 18:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

the hyphen between the first two words
Note that "ground" doesn't modify "granulated". Both adjectives modify the word "slag". So, they shouldn't carry a hyphen because it changes the meaning. See:

"Although portland blast furnace slag cement, which is made by intergrinding the granulated slag with portland cement clinker (blended cement), has been used for more than 60 years, the use of separately ground slag combined with portland cement

Here there is some discussion. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:07, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

"Aluminate"
Aluminate anions are neither present in iron ores nor in coke. In the environment Al is usually present as aluminosilicates; so is true for coke, where also Al silicates may be found. Eudialytos (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Applications / "cold joints"
"cold joints" in the Applications section refers wrongly to soldering of metals. There are two references to cold joints in cement on Wikipedia, but neither is a valid link target. Does someone think that the citation on one of them (I think that it was the article on premixed cement) should be duplicated here? ArthurDent006.5 (talk) 22:37, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
