Soil Modification by the Application of Steel Slag

Soil Modification by the Application of Steel Slag

~ 7be645a9c58cfd76ef19f2b710f30893.200x200
This paper provides experimental insights on the modification of a soil using electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag, which is limitedly used as a construction material because of its volumetric instability. Various percentages of pulverized steel slag were applied to a soil, having poor engineering properties, with the aim of improving the engineering properties of the soil. Sieve analysis,...
