USE OF BLAST FURNACE SLAG IN EARTH CONSTRUCTION

ERFARENHETER AV STENKOLSASKANS ANVAENDNING I JORDKONSTRUKTIONER I HELSINGFORS

The use of blast furnace slag as a substitute for natural aggregate in earth construction is reported from Helsinki, Finland. Properties such as strength and bearing capacity are discussed, as well as the corrosion problem. It is concluded that the frost and heat insulation capacity exceeds that of natural aggregate.
