AB The construction industry in general is, through minor low-cost processing methods, convertingseveral of its by-products into viable materials; furthermore, some siderurgic sector by-productsare likewise of use. In this context, large-scale batches (mix volumes over 0.5 m3) of good qualitystructural concrete are proposed, in which two kinds of binder and two kinds of aggregate (steelslag and recycled concrete) are used to perform four concrete mixtures, containing more than 80% in mass of good-quality recycled materials. A batch of tests, both in the fresh and in thehardened state, are performed, covering on-site placement and long-term properties, to guaranteethe suitability and the quality of the mixtures as structural concretes. Most of the results wereencouraging, mainly depending on the aggregate and the binder types that were used. The freshstate workability of all the test mixtures was good. All the results in terms of hardened properties,strength (42 MPa in type I cement mixtures, and 32–38 MPa in type III cement mixtures), stiffness, long-term shrinkage, and microstructural state (porosity, permeability) were acceptable,their quality depending on the type of each component. The good results of the mixtures based onthe slag-based binder deserve attention. Some weak points found were the slightly higher specificweight of the slag aggregate mixes (amounting to more than 2.7 Mg/m3), plastic shrinkage rates(in some cases greater than 1.2–1.5 thousand), and loss of resistance against chlorine penetrationin recycled concrete mixes. However, drawbacks of that sort are no obstacle to their use in moststructural applications.
