| Abstract: |
Blast furnace slag and other waste materials from steel-making processes have long been useful in the construction industry, and perhaps for other applications. However, the stable and useful qualities of blast furnace slag do not extend to open hearlh slags. In fact, there are a number of specific projects in which open hearth slag has been used as backfill beneath slabs and structures, or beneath pavements, with rather disastrous results. |
