Abstract

Overall, the use of steel slag in road construction has several potential benefits. Firstly, it can improve the performance and durability of the road, which can lead to reduced maintenance costs and longer service life. Secondly, it can reduce the amount of waste material that would otherwise be sent to landfills, making it an environmentally friendly option. Thirdly, steel slag has excellent skid resistance properties, which can improve road safety. However, there are also some potential challenges associated with the use of steel slag in road construction. One of the main concerns is the potential for leaching of heavy metals and other contaminants from the slag. This can be mitigated through proper processing and handling of the material, as well as through the use of appropriate binders and additives. Another challenge is the variability of the material, which can affect its performance and suitability for specific applications.
