A Fundamental Study on the Converter Slag Coarse Aggregate Used in Concrete

전로슬래그 굵은골재를 콘크리트용으로 사용하기 위한 기초적 연구

In this paper, we carried out fundamental experiments to use the steel manufacturing slag as a concrete aggregate. Generally there are two types of slag, the blast-furnace slag and the steel manufacturing slag. The latter is classified by the difference of manufacturing method of steel into the convertor slag and the electric-furnace slag. The steel manufacturing slag mainly contains SiO2 and CaO as the chmical composition. The reaction with water and a little of free CaO in the steel manufacturing slag makes the expansion of volume change. Therefore, we primarily investigated physical properties, expansion mechanism, pH value, aging effects and aging methods in the steel manufacturing slag. Then compressive strength of concrete with steel slag aggregate is measured.
