Steel Slag—A Strong and Sustainable Substitute for Conventional Concreting Materials
This chapter reports the feasibility of employing steel slag-based aggregates and binders as an alternate for the conventional concrete making materials and their effect on fresh, mechanical and durability properties of concrete. The ladle furnace slag (LFS), basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) and electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) are the types of steel slag conceded in this study. The various attempt has been made to dump these steel slags into the concrete as a binder, filler, fine and coarse aggregates. From those various attempts, it is inferred that the utilization of steel slag as filler, fine and coarse aggregate in concrete is a prominent way to fix the sustainability issues in the construction industry and also it paves the path for solid waste management. However, the combined substitution of steel slag as a coarse and fine aggregate slightly affects the inherent properties of concrete. In many cases, the incorporation of steel slag as a binder showed a negative effect on the early strength of concrete/mortar due to its low pozzolanic activity and slow hydration rate but improved the mechanical properties at later ages.
