The steel making industry has generated substantial solid waste. Steel slag is an industrial by product obtained from the steel manufacturing industry and hundreds of tons of it are produced every year all over the world in the process of refining metals and making alloys. As a construction material, concrete is the largest production of all other materials. Aggregates are the important constituents in concrete. They give body to the concrete, reduce shrinkage and effect economy. It appears in concrete, aggregate road materials, as ballast, and is sometimes used as a component of phosphate fertilizer. Steel slag can be used in the construction industry as aggregates in concrete by replacing natural aggregates. Natural aggregates are becoming increasingly scarce and their production and shipment is becoming more difficult. Steel slag is currently used as aggregate in hot mix asphalt surface applications, but there is a need for some additional work to determine the feasibility of utilizing this industrial by-product more wisely as a replacement for both fine and coarse aggregates in a conventional concrete mixture. Replacing all or some portion of natural aggregates with steel slag would lead to considerable environmental benefits.
