Possibility of using domestic slag as concrete aggregate
Abstract
Tests conducted in accordance with Croatian standards in order to define possibility of using domestic slag as concrete aggregate, are described. The aggregate is specified according to classification given in HRN EN 12620/AC:2006, and categories obtained for individual aggregate properties are compared with requirements contained in Croatian regulations. The results show that domestic slag can in fact be used as concrete aggregate. Such use would contribute to proper management of this type of waste and to preservation of aggregate normally taken from nature.
