SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SM SLAGS FOR THEIR USE IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

BEDEUTUNG DER PHYSIKALISCHEN UND CHEMISCHEN EIGENSCHAFTEN VON SM-SCHLACKE FUER EINE VERWENDUNG IM STRASSENBAU

The study carried out enables defective Siemens-Martin slags to be eliminated, contributes to a useful evaluation of the slags and indicates a new source of raw material for road construction. After an analysis of chemical and mineralogical composition, the slag is tested for the occurrence and influence of lime and iron decomposition, blistering and insufficient crystal structure. Treatment with soft burnt lime means that these defects do not affect the slag as a construction material, and they are suitable for use in roads. /TRRL/
