In this study, the performance of concrete containing two powdery LFS is studied: H-type LFS, stabilized before use, and N-type LFS, used in its original state. Lower expansiveness was observed in the H-type LFS, and strength development was assisted by the formation of calcium-silicate-hydrates. Therefore, it increased the modulus of elasticity, the splitting tensile strength, and the flexural strength of concrete. Higher hydraulicity and expansiveness were found in the N-type LFS, which improved compressivebehavior-related properties up to a content of 10% but reduced tensile-related properties. These aspects were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy. In general, the H-type LFS improved the mechanical properties and carbon footprint of concrete, and its use is recommended in a multi-criteria approach, although the difference between both LFS was only statistically significant at advanced ages. 0032-5910 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8348 10.1016/j.powtec.2024.119396 Concrete Ladle furnace slag Pre-treatment Mechanical performance Analysis of variance Multi-criteria optimum mix Mechanical properties of sustainable concrete containing powdery ladle furnace slag from different sources
