Abstract

Blast Furnace Slag (BFS) is obtained during the manufacture of iron and steel, and possesses inherent hydrated properties. It is utilized for making different types of construction materials. Research that focuses on engineering properties of BFS was scarce. Therefore, in comparison to other recyclable materials, such as flyash, bottom-ash, tire shreds, cement kiln dust or foundry sand, this slag was underutilized. Most of the time, BFS was used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate and fine aggregates in the manufacturing of concrete for different purposes. Provisions in International codes related to this topic needs to be reviewed as no such provision is available in the Indian context. Apart from above, utilization of BFS in India was very limited in comparison with abroad
