Abstract

The chapter delves into the behavior of real-scale beams manufactured with Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag concrete, focusing on their flexural and long-term deflection properties. It begins by discussing the sustainability benefits of recycling industrial waste, such as EAF slag, in the construction industry. The methodology involves manufacturing concrete mixes with varying consistencies and cement types, followed by the creation of beams under real construction conditions. The beams are subjected to four-point bending tests and long-term deflection tests under sustained loads. The results are compared with theoretical predictions based on the EHE-08 standard, revealing that EAF slag concrete can be safely used in reinforced concrete elements. The study highlights the potential for reducing waste and enhancing sustainability in the construction sector through the effective use of recycled materials.
