This study is performed to evaluate the flexural performance of reinforced concrete columns with electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregates. Electric arc furnace slag is a by-product obtained from the process of refining scrap steel. The electric arc furnace slag can be used as a concrete aggregate, because it mainly consists of CaO and $SiO_2$, similar to natural rocks and minerals. Three rectangular columns with various types of aggregate were cast to test in flexure. All of the test specimens had a cross-section of $250{\times}250$mm and a height of 1,500 mm in test region. The specimens were designed to apply reversed cyclic antisymmetric moment and constant axial force. The experimental results showed that the specimens with electronic arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregates had superior flexural performance than the specimen with natural aggregates.

Currently, electric furnace oxide slag is mostly used for soil or road use due to its nature. Although electric furnace oxidation slag is an industrial byproduct, not a circulating aggregate, the shortcomings of electric furnace oxidation slag are gradually being resolved due to the development of technology, and it is said that electric furnace oxidation slag is enough to be used as aggregates in light of research and technology conditions outside of Korea. However, there are difficulties in expanding construction and application, given that the current standard for electric furnace oxid slag only defines recycling purposes and does not have specific regulations. Therefore, institutional supplementation is needed to utilize oxidation slag as electricity. In this study, the laws and system related to oxidation slag by electricity are reviewed, laws related to recycled aggregate are examined, and measures for improvement are proposed.

As the amount of slag generated annually increases, attempts to recycle slag as high value products are underway in order to develop an efficient resource recycling industry based on slag and derive economic benefits as well. However, the application of electric arc furnace (EOS) slag as construction material is practically limited because of the unstable substances included in it, such as free CaO.(EOS contains a small amount of free CaO, but several limitations still exist. Slag is stored for more than 3 months depending on the quantity of slag, which leads to additional economic loss. In this study, the amount of free CaO present in EOS is quantitatively evaluated to examine its qualities as a potential construction material and verify its application as concrete material. The quantitative analysis of free CaO present in EOS is performed using ethylene glycol. The free CaO contents of EOS samples were found to be below 0.5%. This satisfies the criteria specified in KS F 4571, which states that the CaO content should be below 40% and $CaO/SiO_2$ ratio should be below 2.0. In addition, it was confirmed that free CaO content difference appears to be dependent on the aging period and storage position.

This study evaluates the shear performance of reinforced concrete beams with electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregates generated from iron manufacture. A total of six simple supported specimens were cast and tested in shear. The main test variables were the type of aggregates and the amount of shear reinforcements. The specimens under four point loading had a shear span-to-depth ratio of 2.5 and a rectangular section with a width of 200mm and an effective depth of 300mm. Existing equations to predict the shear strength of the specimens were used in this study. Furthermore, a finite element analysis using shear analytical model was performed to trace the shear behavior of the specimens with electric arc furnace oxidizing aggregates. From the test results, the shear performance of specimens with electric arc furnace oxidizing aggregates is similar to that of specimens with natural aggregates.

Electric arc furnace slag is made in ironworks during steel refining, it is been increasing chemical and physical resistibility using ageing method of unstable state of melting steel slag for using concrete's fine aggregates. Which is been changing stable molecular structure of aggregates, it restrains moving of ion and molecule. In Korea, KS F 4571 has been prepared for using the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag to concrete aggregates(EFS). In this study, Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag is used in the PRCC(Polymer Rapid setting Cement Concrete) which is applied a bridge pavement of rehabilitation, largely. The results showed that the increment of compressive strength development by 10- 20%. The flexural strength of EFS-Con increased greatly as the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag changed. The compressive strength and flexural strength developed enough for opening the overlayed EFS-Con to the traffic after 4 hours of EFS-Con placement. The permeability of EFS-Con was evaluated as negligible due to its very low charge passed. Thus, EFS-Con could be used at repairing or overlaying the concrete at fast-track job sites.

Hydration reaction of Free-CaO is thought to be the main reason of expansion failure of slag. A lot of research institutions are conducting studies on solutions to this problem, and moreover it has been carried out how to make use of aggregates for concrete. While studies covering wide rage of blast furnace slag have been accomplished in the country, studies on steelmaking slag are insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing basic physical properties of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag, which is the main material, and furthermore it focused on how to make use of aggregates for concrete examining chemical mechanism, which can be put to practical use. To address this issue, components of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag were analyzed with measurement of physical properties, followed by long-term strength and detailed durability analysis, which can evaluate the appropriateness of application of cement concrete. Besides the environmental conservation and recycling which can be obtained by application of industry byproducts, commercializing of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag as fine aggregates for cement concrete are expected.

In this study, the mechanical properties of early-age concrete were evaluated by mixing the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregate with 30% and 50% replacement ratio. Slump test, air content test and unit volume weight test were performed for fresh concrete, and compressive strength test and chloride penetration experiments were carried out in hardened concrete. The compressive strength increased up to 7 days of curing age with increasing replacement ratio of the electric furnace oxidizing slag, but the strength decreased to 90% level of OPC concrete at 28 days of age. Regarding the result of chloride penetration test, no significant differences from OPC concrete were evaluated, which shows a feasibility of application to concrete aggregate.
