Abstract: It has been demonstrated that mainly amorphous new formations grow during the hydration and strengthening of dump ferrous slag from different metallurgical processes, with or without activators (additions of 2-3% of Portland cement) and mixed with natural soils.
Their high rates of strength, and water and frost resistance render of these new materials appropriate for the construction of roads and airfield runways, levee cores, industrial and municipal dumps, building foundations, etc.
In addition to their economic advantages, these materials are extremely easy to use and do not create new residues.
