SLAG FOR ROADS - ITS PRODUCTION PROPERTIES AND USES

BLAST FURNACE SLAG IS SUMMARIZED, INCLUDING ITS CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. HOW CONTROL IS MAINTAINED OVER ITS COMPOSITION IN ORDER TO ENSURE CONSISTENT RELIABILITY IS PRESENTED. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FULL-SCALE ROAD EXPERIMENTS OF THE ROAD RESEARCH LABORATORY, WHICH INDICATED THE SPECIAL ADVANTAGES ATTACHED TO BLAST FURNACE SLAG AS AN AGGREGATE FOR USE IN ROADBASES AND IN BITUMINOUS SURFACINGS. RESEARCH BY THE BUILDING RESEARCH STATION HAS SHOWN ITS ADVANTAGES WHEN USED AS AN AGGREGATE IN CEMENT CONCRETE. /RRL/
