Blast furnace slag is recycled as a high value-added material, while steel slag is difficult to recycle or is recycled as a low-grade filler material due to its expansive characteristics. Its property is caused by the high content of free lime and instable steel oxides. Recently, an innovative and rapid cooling method for melting steel slag has been developed in Korea, which reduces free lime content to a minimum level and increases the stability of steel oxides. However, researches on the long-term stability are not sufficient so far. Therefore, this study, focusing on the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag in the steel slag, aims to investigate the properties of the steel slag aggregate, its long-term volume stability and the engineering strength of mortar, and using it as a fine aggregate. This study result indicated that it was possible for it to be used as concrete aggregate because the volume change of the steel slag appeared to be stable.

In this study, freezing-thawing resistance of concrete using steel slag as coarse aggregate(steel slag concrete) from Gwangyang Iron Co. was estimated to offer basic data for utilization of much more steel slag. Freezing-thawing test of concrete using crushed stone as coarse aggregate(crushed stone concrete) whose compressive strength and air contents are as close as possible to those of the steel slag concrete was performed. Because they are main two factors that affect of freezing-thawing resistance. The test was carried out up to 400 cycles according to KS F 2456. The compressive strength and weight of two concretes were measured and compared. As a result, the freezing-thawing resistance of steel slag concrete curing in water was almost the same with that of crushed stone concrete. But the resistance of steel slag concrete curing in air dry condition was weaker than that of crushed stone concrete. Also, the steel slag concrete which has more than 60% of W/C ratio showed much more surface degradation when compared to crushed stone concrete.

Slag and ash generally have a higher powder degree than portland cement, so workability may deteriorate under the same unit quantity condition, and strength and durability decrease when the unit quantity is increased. At this time, if an aggregate having a low water absorption and an appropriate particle size is used to recover the loss of strength, it can contribute to reducing the unit quantity of the binder. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the workability and strength of non-sintered cement mortar using slag and ash, ferro nikel slag whose particle size was adjusted was used as an aggregate and its applicability was identified. In this experimental condition, it was confirmed that non-sintered cement mortar tends to improve workability and secure strength when ferro nikel slag having various particle size distributions is used as an aggregate. This can be analyzed as the effect of ferro nikel slag material properties including glassy properties and mixing conditions with a wide particle size distribution.

The purpose of this study is to examine through the experimental study whether the water cooled unprocessed blast furnace slag produced in the country is useful for the fine aggregate of concrete or not. The results of this study show that the quality of the water cooled blast furnace slag is inferior to that of natural river sand and that the concrete made by substituting the water cooled blast furnace slag for fine aggregate have a tendency to decrease to some extent in strength. But if the water cooled blast furnace slag is transformed into more hardened state material, to use it as the fine aggregate of concrete will be possible.

A series of experiments were performed to investigate the strength characteristics of concrete which contain air cooled blast-furnace slag as coarse aggregate. The slag is a by product of GISC. The experimental conditions are varied with three different W/C(45%, 50%, 55%) and the weight of water and S/a are constant. The strength properties of the concrete at 7days, 28days, 90days are examined. Also the same strength properties are examined for the normal concrete which contain river gravel and crushed stone respectively as coarse aggregate. As the comparison results of the strength properties, it was found that the compressive strength development of concrete containing blast-furnace slag is better than that of concrete using river gravel at early age, however this is adversely at long-term age, and the tensile and flexural strength of the concrete were not nearly affected by water-cement ratio.

Carbon dioxide emissions in the construction sector account for 38% of all industries, and environmental destruction is occurring due to indiscriminate use of natural resources. The purpose of this study is to develop by-product aggregate Non-Sintered Cement(NSC) that can replace sand used as natural aggregate and Portland cement. Therefore, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, Type C Fly Ash and Type F Fly Ash are used to replace cement, and water granulated ferro-nickel slag(FNS) is used to replace aggregate. The flow, compressive strength and flexural strength of the formulation using sand as an aggregate and the formulation replacing 100% FNS were compared. As a result of the experiment, the formulation using FNS had higher overall strength than the formulation using sand, and as the substitution rate of Type C fly ash increased, the strength was the best. Formulation using FNS is more fluid than using sand. Through this study, we show the possibility of 100% substitution of FNS and its applicability to secondary concrete products of by-product aggregate NSC.

As the supply of aggregate needed in the construction site becomes difficult due to preservation of environment and exhaust of aggregate resource, a research for replacement aggregate in shortage is being actively progressed and a copper slag is also a kind of replacing aggregate. To use copper slag as fine aggregate of concrete, many studies are already conducted in each of the advanced countries and in the state of applying these at the site. In the year of 2000 a Korea industrial standard of Copper slag aggregate for concrete was established in our country so that this can be applied in the construction site. This study is to find out whether copper slag is equipped with the physical and chemical requirements for the use in concrete aggregate, and to analyze the dynamic properties of copper slag concrete that replaces 25, 50, 75, 100% of fine aggregate. Copper slag study not only satisfies the using condition of fine aggregate, but also reveals high level of physical property compared to ordinary concrete up to 50% of sand replacement rate. In the future after confirming the durability of concrete using copper slag, it is judged to be advantageous for the preservation of environment to use this as a replacement material for natural aggregate.

In order to expanding of the use of steel slag, a by-product of steel industry, as a road paving construction material, this present study confirmed the possibility of the rust formation of steel slag aggregate and evaluated the durability performance and the noise reduction characteristics of asphalt concrete mixture. As a result of conducting the rust formation test of aggregate, no rust was observed in both aggregate, so it is judged that the possibility of rust formation in the actual road water environment is very low. As a result of performing the moisture resistance test, all mixtures showed a tensile strength ratio exceeding 85%, satisfied the standard as asphalt mixture. In addition, the sound absorption coefficient of the steel slag aggregate mixture was measured to be higher than that of the general aggregate mixture. Accordingly, it is speculated th at th e steel slag aggregate mixture can more effectively respond to road noise reduction than the general mixture.

In this study, a mix design for self compacting concrete was based on Okamura's method and concrete incorporated just a ground granulated blast furnace slag. Replacement ratio of slag is in the range of $20-80\%$ of cement matrix by volume. For the optimal self compactability in mixture incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag, the paste and mortar tests were first completed. Then the slump flow, elapsed time of 500mm slump flow, V funnel time and filling height by U type box were conducted in concrete. The volume of coarse aggregate in self compacting concrete was in the range of $50-60\%$ to the solid volume percentage of coarse aggregate. Finally, the compressive and splitting tensile strengths were determined in the hardened self compacting concrete incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag. From the test results, it is desirable for self compacting concrete that the replacement of ground granulated blast furnace slag is in the range of $40-60\%$ of cement matrix by volume and the volume of coarse aggregate to the solid volume percentage of coarse aggregate with a limit of $55\%$.
