Opis

Characteristics and Uses of Steel Slag in Building Construction focuses predominantly on the utilization of ferrous slag (blast furnace and steel slag) in building construction. This extensive literature review discusses the worldwide utilization of ferrous slag and applications in all sectors of civil engineering, including structural engineering, road construction, and hydro-technical structures. It presents cutting-edge research on the characteristics and properties of ferrous slag, and its overall impact on the environment.

• Comprehensively reviews the literature on the use of blast furnace and steel slag in civil engineering
• Examines the environmental impact of slag production and its effect on human health
• Presents cutting-edge research from worldwide studies on the use of blast furnace and steel slag

O autorze

Prof. Dr. Ivanka Netinger Grubesa has 15 years of research experience in the field of building materials and 9 years of research experience on the application of waste materials (slag) in concrete. Since 2001 to present, she has been employed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Osijek, Croatia. Dr Ivana Barisic works at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Osijeck. She has scientific and practical experience in the field of investigating steel slag usage as a construction material in civil and structural engineering (as an aggregate in concrete with improved fire resistance and as an aggregate in pavement base layers). Dr. Aleksandra Fucic has 30 years of experience working on the biomonitoring of populations exposed to radiation or chemical agents with a special interest in achieving a healthy living environment and investigation of health risks related to new construction materials.
