— Abstract. Modern industrialization leads to an increasing demand for steel around the world, the production of one ton of crude steel generates a substantial amount of steel slag (SS 1), ranging from 130–200 kg. The accumulation of SS poses economic and environmental challenges, particularly in developing countries with low utilization rates.

 — This study aims to offer valuable insights into the use of steel slag in concrete production, with the overarching goal of promoting resource efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and bolstering the overall sustainability of construction practices.

The guide covers information on slag cement chemical properties and product types, storage, handling, batching, proportioning, and the effects on properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Various applications of slag cement are discussed including mass concrete, soil stabilization, and pavements.

 — Highlights. •. Current applications of steel slag in concrete were presented. •. Its chemical composition and durability properties of steel slag in literature were compared. •. Use of steel Slag as coarse and fine aggregate in concrete was presented. •. Effect of curing temperature and time on concrete containing steel slag was presented. •.

Allows the use of reactive aggregates with the following preventive measures: Limiting the alkali content of the concrete Use of fly ash Use of slag Use of silica fume Use of ternary blends The actual level of prevention varies with "risk" as …

In concrete, PLC also performs well with slag or fly ash at normal replacement levels. In many cases, Type IL+SCM perform better at early age than Type I+SCM, due to nucleation effects of fine limestone particles and due to formation of additional carbo-aluminates.

 — •. Slag is an excellent performance cementitious material, promoting to achieve higher compressive strength. •. To examine the influences of GGBFS and AAS on the morphological characteristics of concrete. •. To study the characteristic of high fineness GGBFS, to improve the microstructure property. Abstract.

 — This chapter presents experimental and industrial experience with the use of steel slag and air-cooled blast furnace slag in the production of concrete as a new sustainable and environmentally ...

 — Steel slag is the main source of solid waste in the steel industry [1]. It is obtained either by melting scrap with a high electric current in an electric arc furnace (EAF) or by processing hot melted metal, scrap and fluxes with …

The use of slag cement as a cementitious material dates back to 1774, when a mortar was made using slag cement in combination with slaked lime (Mather 1957). In 1862, a granulation process was proposed to facilitate removal and handling of iron blast-furnace slag leaving the blast furnace.
