AB The purpose of this research was to study the feasibility of incorporating steel slags intocoarse bituminous mixtures. The objective was twofold: to reduce dependence on naturalaggregates, and to provide a use for industrial by-products. The slags studied come fromthe manufacture of carbon steel in electric furnaces and are divided into two types: ElectricArc Furnace (EAF) slag and Ladle Furnace (LF) slag. The mixture designed is coarsebituminous concrete (AC22G), for base courses in flexible pavements.In a first phase, the physical characterization of the materials was carried out to check theirsuitability. In a second phase, three types of mixes were designed: a control mix (madewith natural limestone aggregates), a mix where LF slag was introduced to replace thefiller and the fine fraction (sand) of the mix; and finally, the feasibility of manufacturing atotally sustainable mix was analyzed, which would fully incorporate EAF slag as coarseaggregate and LF slag as fine aggregate and filler. In a third and final phase, the designedmixes were subjected to different mechanical, water sensitivity, and durability tests.The research demonstrated that the incorporation of EAF and LF steel slag as a substitutefor natural aggregate in coarse bituminous mixtures is feasible, meeting regulatoryrequirements, improving sustainability in the construction industry, as well as reducingemissions, and contributing to climate change mitigation.
