Because of the high disposal cost as a waste material and the overall positive features of steel slag, it has been declared a useful construction material, not an industrial waste by most of the developed countries. steelmaking slag for road base course use. Application specification: Highway Works series 800 and BS EN 13285. 2. The slag occurs as a molten liquid melt and is a complex solution of silicates and oxides ... 4.2 Road base course use BF slag and steelmaking slag can be used to make roads that last long under traffic loads. Steel slag is a byproduct obtained from steel industry. Test results indicate that steel slag and CRT glass can be used as substitutes for natural aggregates due to their satisfactory physical and mechanical properties. Steelmaking slag Because of its hydraulic property and the large bearing capacity it can provide, steelmaking slag is used as a road base course material. With safety in mind, many road agencies require the use of steel slag when skid resistance is of prime concern. Process metallurgy. Alternatively, some of these materials 13.4.3 Quantification criterion for steel slag use in blended cement manufacture embankment, sub-grade, sub-base, upper layers of road pavement. The addition of steel slag, at content levels of up to 20% of total solid material, is suggested as optimum with regard to stability, economy, and strength of the blended cement. The evaluated strength of subgrade filling give the indices of different highway grade and different road base … • Steel slag cannot be used in confined applications such as in concrete, pipe or structure backfill due to the potential for expansion. Mainly as a granular road base or as an aggregate in construction applications, steel slag aggregate (SSA) has been successfully used in the Middle East under hot weather conditions . The CBR values are key factors of estimating the roadbed thickness. *1 Detection of yellow turbid water from iron and steel slag for road construction containing air-cooled blast furnace slag. The aim of the present work is to prepare a new type of steel slag–fly ash–phosphogypsum solidified material totally composed with solid wastes to be utilized as road base material. Because of its hydraulic property and the large bearing capacity it can provide, steel making slag is used as a road base course material. • Blast furnace slag may be used in concrete. Leaching behaviour of rock material and slag used in road construction ‐ amineralogical interpretation. Road Shoulders; Unconfined Road Base; Soil Remediation; Skid resistance has proven to be one of the greatest benefits of steel slag over other natural aggregates for roadway paving. NLMK Lipetsk has supplied 2 million tonnes of slag crushed stones to DSK Avtoban for building the fourth section of Moscow’s Central Ring Road that opened on 28 December 2020. The test results showed a significant scope of use of steel slag, along Steel slag also has numerous applications, such as an efficient non-slip choice for asphalt pavement where friction is desirable. About 40 million tons of steel slag a year, which is the by-product of iron and steel manu- facture, is generated in Japan and the almost all the slag is reused for the materials, e.g. The addition of steel slag into the road base is feasible, with the best overall performance obtained at the content of 50%. Slag - Usage • Slag aggregates are approved for a number of uses although there are restrictions. This Standard specifies requirements for the iron and steel slag intended for use in a base course mixture or hot laid asphalt mix for road construction (hereafter referred to as iron and steel slag). Steel Research. Because of its hydraulic property and the large bearing capacity it can provide, steel slag is often used as a road base course material. However, steel slag aggregate was reported to exhibit higher porosity, superior adhesion with binder due to its surface structure and chemical content, and favourable shapes. Most projects involving steel slag aggregate were incorporating this aggregate type in lower quality applications such as road-base rather than wearing course. This paper presents an effective way of utilizing the steel slag aggregate (SSA), which is a byproduct of the steel manufacturing process, in road construction. treat contaminated groundwater. Steel slag is a byproduct from either the conversion of iron to steel in a basic oxygen furnace, or the melting of scrap to make steel in an electric arc furnace. With high particle density and hardness, this slag has superior wear resistance, which makes it an excellent aggregate for asphalt concrete. Approximately 15 to 40% of the 10–15 million metric tons of steel slag generated in the United States in 2006 was not utilized . Slag road construction trials were conducted at a Qatar Steel site in 2016. This paper reviews the production, processing, and characteristics of steel slag, and its use as a cementing component in different cementing systems. It is generated as a residue during the production of steel. ASMS processes the steel furnace slag into asphalt aggregates, road bases, fill materials and filter materials. Due to the difference of cooling and treatment processes (rolling method, hot braised method, layer pouring method), basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel slag can be mainly classified as roller steel slag (RSS), hot braised steel slag (HBSS) and layer pouring steel slag (LPSS).
