The use of ladle furnace slag in soil stabilization

Electric arc furnace slag and its use in hydraulic concrete

“…Researchers now face the task of finding the most efficient and appropriate techniques for their reuse [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Several investigations on the re-use of steelmaking slags have been published over the last decades; some of them concerning mortar and concrete (rigid-stiff matrices) , and mixtures with granular soils (compliant-flexible and porous matrices) [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

Evaluation of Marble Dust for Soil Stabilization

“…Lime, cement and bitumen are commonly used additives for stabilization of expansive soils [1][2][3]. Recently, different additive materials such as fly ash, rice husk ash, silica fume, ladle furnace slag and geo fibers are used to improve some geotechnical properties of poor soils [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Besides these additives, industrial wastes such as olive oil wastes [11] and basalt fibers [12] are also used for remediation of soils.…”

Study of scale effect on strength characteristic of stabilised composite with sewage sludge – Part A: Preliminary study

“…The application of sewage sludge ash as a stabiliser in construction materials has been investigated in several studies [4,12,13,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The results achieved by Lin et al [12,13] revealed the efficiency of sewage sludge ash in reducing clay water absorption and bending strength.…”

“…This problem has arisen due to rapid developments in the urbanisation and industrialisation process [1][2][3][4]. Sewage sludge (biosolids) is one of the main wastewater treatment by-products of plants worldwide [1,5,6].…”
