SYSCO ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE SLAG AS AN ASPHALT CONCRETE AGGREGATE

Advanced testing and evaluation were performed on 194 laboratory prepared Marshall specimens from eight asphalt concrete mixes. Four of these mixes contained electric arc steel slag and one contained slag produced by open hearth furnaces. These were characterized and results compared to the remaining three conventional asphalt concrete mixes commonly used in the province of Nova Scotia. Advanced testing included indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, creep and permanent deformation, and moisture damage. The results showed that asphalt mixtures containing steel slag aggregates exhibited more desirable characteristics compared to those of conventional mixes.
