Abstract: Accelerated curing method is a steam or hot water curing which is sometimes adopted and the strength development of concrete is very rapid in this method. It fastens the process of hydration of cement and attains the strength of nearly 28 days curing within a shorter time. In this study, the method of accelerated curing was done by adding different percentages of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% have been varied for different water-binder ratios such as 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5.For this study, around 105 cubes of standard size (150mm X 150mm X 150mm) were tested under compression. In this research, the correlations among the boiling water method, 28 days and 90 days curing of GGBS will be developed. The compressive strength of GGBS 70% of w/c ratio 0.3 will give better results while compared to other percentages.
