Cementitious and pozzolanic behavior of electric arc furnace steel slags

Utilization of Ladle Furnace slag from a steelwork for laboratory scale production of Portland cement

“…An enormous amount of steel slag is generated in the word, and only in Europe every year nearly 20 million tons of steel slag is generated [6,7]. Therefore, this waste material has been studied as an additive component in construction material.…”

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Mortar with Naturally Occurring Volcanic Ash and Its Blend with Electric Arc Furnace Slag

“…In recent past, the EAF slag aggregate is successfully used in highway and concrete industry [42]. Other researchers investigated the potential use of EAF slag as a cement substitute for sustainable concrete industry [43]. But they found that EAF slag possesses a slight cementitious performance and very low pozzolanic reactivity due to its crystalline nature.…”

“…Many researchers have investigated the chemical and pozzolanic potential of these scoria materials obtained from different scoria cones. e chemical analysis result showed a high percentage of silica (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49).5%) in all the samples, and it was also found that almost 97% of the samples showed positive pozzolanic activity [32]. In the current study, the scoria material was collected from Harrat Rahat, Jabal Khada quarry in Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia.…”

Engineering properties of controlled low strength material (CLSM) incorporating red mud

“…A large amount of by-product foundry sand was incorporated in CLSM due to its lower cost and availability [4,39,41,36]. Various other industrial by-products and recycled materials such as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) [5], oyster shell [15], scrap tire rubber [26], recycled glass [25], acid mine drainage (AMD) sludge [9], blast furnace slag [17,20], recycled concrete [1], clean coal ash [23] were also utilized in CLSM production.…”
