Abstract
Rapid urbanization has resulted in huge number of infrastructure projects across the country. Amid this urbanization and industrialization, consumption of steel has increased enormously. India is currently the second largest producer of the steel. For every tonne of steel produced, an integrated steel plant produces 2–4 tonnes of slag. Disposal of the enormous magnitude of waste in an economically feasible and environment-friendly manner has become a challenging task. This study looks into the efficient use of steelmaking slag as a highway construction material. Locally available soft clay was stabilized with steel slag fines, and experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate consistency limits, compaction characteristics and strength characteristics of different combination of mixes. The strength of clay is found to increase with the addition of steel slag and also with the curing period.
