To test and inspect the chemical compositions and mechanical properties of the steel slag produced by the converters of Jigang Group co. ltd, and study the feasibility of using the steel slag as base course material. Prepare cement stabilized steel slag specimens with different contents of cement mixed for the unconfined compressive strength test. Determine through test its strength after 7 days and 28 days and its water stability after 7 days’ soaking. Prepare in the same method of two different kinds of cement and coal ash stabilized specimens with different contents of coal ash mixed for the unconfined compressive strength test, to test its strength and water stability. The comparison on mechanical property with cement stabilized macadam indicates that the cement stabilized steel slag and cement with coal ash stabilized steel slag both have favorable mechanical property and water stability and the steel slag produced by the converters of Jigang Group co. ltd can be popularized for use as base course material.

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using lime–slag stabilized loess as base-course material by assessing its unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Loess stabilized with various mix ratios were compacted and cured to three, five, seven, and 28 days, respectively, for further strength tests. The effects of binder content, lime-to-slag (L/S) ratio, porosity, and curing time on the UCS of stabilized loess were addressed in detail. The test results show that UCS increases with the increase in binder content or curing time, and it gains strength rapidly within the first seven days of curing. At the same binder content, UCS decreases with the decrease in L/S ratio or porosity. Finally, the correlations of UCS with binder content, porosity, and curing time were derived, which exhibited reasonable correlation coefficients R2 (from 0.86 to 0.97).
