Mixtures containing EAFS aggregate in proportions of nearly 50% by volume are prepared for use as pumpable and self-compacting mixes with consistency classes of S4 and SF2, respectively. Characterization of the mixtures is presented, examining practical aspects such as thixotropy, segregation in the fresh state (under 6%), and mechanical and microstructural evolution in the hardened state. The results yielded compressive strengths of approximately 60 MPa and elastic moduli of 38 GPa after one year. Finally, real-scale flexural elements are cast and subjected to sustained loading tests of moderate intensity. Long-term deflection values were approximately 50% (pumpable mixes) and less than 40% (self-compacting mixes) of the maximum admissible values specified in current standards. 2090-4479 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5295 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asej.2019.10.001 Electric arc furnace slag Self-compacting concrete In-fresh properties Long-term hardened properties Sustained load testing The study of properties and behavior of self compacting concrete containing Electric Arc Furnace Slag (EAFS) as aggregate
