Abstract

This study investigates the potential use of steel slag as a sustainable alternative to conventional coarse aggregate in concrete production. Steel slag, an industrial by-product, has desirable mechanical properties that could enhance the performance of concrete, while also addressing environmental concerns associated with waste management. The research focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties, durability, and environmental benefits of using steel slag as a partial or full replacement for natural aggregates. The results indicate that steel slag concrete demonstrates promising performance in terms of compressive strength, durability, and long-term stability, making it a viable option for sustainable construction. This study investigates the feasibility of using steel slag as coarse aggregate in concrete. Steel slag, a by-product of steel production, was evaluated for its potential as a sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. The effects of steel slag on concrete's workability, compressive strength, and durability were assessed. The results showed that steel slag can be effectively used as coarse aggregate, improving concrete's mechanical properties while reducing environmental impacts.
