Abstract:
Pavement is normally constructed by use of natural stone which is decreasing in quantity. There for, this research the use of steel slag, which is a by product from steel furnace industries/ to replace crushed stone as pavement materials. The characteristics of crushed slag are compared with crushed stone for the cases of with and without modification by cement. Cement quantities of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% are added to the mixtures before performing modified compaction test. The resulting strength characteristics at 7 and 28 days are observed from unconfined compression and CBR tests.
