The amount of industrial waste generated and the overexploitation of quarries worldwide are becoming one of the serious environmental problem. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel slag is currently used for asphalt concrete pavements in many countries but huge quantities of this material are still landfilled. Reusing the slag as recycled material in the construction industry not only helps in the reduction of the amount of waste disposed off but can also bring down the consumption of natural aggregates. EAF slag is the secondary product of the steel production process and is procured after the separation of molten steel from impurities. In this review paper, the impact of using EAF concrete on the structural behavior of internal beam-column joints and also the resisting mechanism of these joints are studied. A parametric study on the structural performance of EAF concrete compared to conventional concrete in terms of the load-carrying capacity, energy dissipation and strength attained by the joint in failure condition is made.

Steel production wastes (steel slags) are used more often in asphalt concrete pavements as a valuable replacement for natural aggregates, which are becoming increasingly rare. In this paper authors investigate the polishing characteristics of aggregates, and in particular of steel slags, used in bituminous road surfacing, are a major factor in determining the resistance to skidding. The main purpose of the study is the identification of a suitable degradation model, based on friction indicators, in the laboratory, as well as the comparison of in-situ pavement skid resistance with the cumulative number of passing vehicles over the years. The model predicts the expected resistance to skidding of the road surface based on the knowledge of the polished stone value (PSV) of the aggregates and the expected traffic on the road. In this study, several types of aggregates were compared: steel slag, limestone, limestone and slag mixture, diabase, Criggion stone and basalt. Using a standard PSV test, it was found that the aggregates did not reach the lower value of skid resistance (equilibrium value). The analysis of the British Portable Number (BPN) data versus polishing time allowed to empirically derive a regression model for each investigated aggregate. Hence, it appears possible to define both an investigatory level and threshold level to predict the actual residual life of the pavement from the examination of skid resistance.

Electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag, generated from carbon steel production process, is the most interesting from the asphalt technology point of view. This paper aims to explore the feasibility of utilizing steel slag as aggregates in asphalt mixtures. Characterization of EAF slag was carried out through examination of its physical and chemical properties with special emphasis on chemical and structural characteristics. Optical Microscopy (OM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) and γ-spectrometric analysis were employed to study the texture, morphology and composition of steel slag. Volume properties of steel slag were also evaluated as compared to those of natural aggregates. For this purpose the specimens of EAF slag were taken from the regular production processes in CMC Sisak, Croatia, Steel mill. The results which were obtained by testing geometric, physicalmechanic properties, as well as the properties of duration on the specimen of electric furnace steel slag of CMC Sisak, when compared to steel slag properties of other steel producers (Acroni, Jesenice, Slovenia and Štore Steel, Štore, Slovenia) and with properties of natural aggregates, have satisfied the conditions for manufacturing mixtures of the tested steel slag and natural stone, which can be used in asphalt production. In comparison to the natural aggregates, which are used in asphalt mixtures on highways and roads with heavy traffic, the examined steel slag has equally good physical and mechanical properties, while it is significantly better when it comes to resistance to polishing. Special attention has been given to the free CaO and free MgO, which can cause volume instability, thus limiting the use of steel slag in road construction. Santrauka Nagrinėjamos plieno šlako panaudojimo asfalto mišiniui gaminti galimybės. Šis šlakas susidaro elektros lanko krosnyje (ELK) anglies plieno gamybos procese. Nagrinėjamos fizikinės bei cheminės šlako savybės, pateikiamos cheminės ir struktūrines charakteristikos. Plieno šlako tekstūra, morfologija ir sudėtis nustatyta taikant optinę mikroskopiją (OM), rentgeno spindulių difrakciją (RSD), skenuojančiąją elektroninę mikroskopiją (SEM), energijos dispersinę spektrometriją (EDS) bei spektrometrinę analizę. ELK šlako mėginiai buvo paimti iš plieno gamyklos CMC Sisak, Kroatijoje. Šių mėginių geometrinės, fizikinės ir mechaninės bei patvarumo savybės buvo lyginamos su kitų šlakų (Acroni, Jesenice, Slovenija ir Store steel, Štore, Slovėnija) ir natūralių agregatų savybėmis. Gauti rezultatai patvirtino tirto plieno šlako bei natūralaus akmens panaudojimo gaminant asfaltą galimybes. Natūralūs agregatai, naudojami asfalto mišiniuose tiesiant greitkelius ir intensyvaus eismo kelius, bei tiriamas plieno šlakas turi panašių gerų fizikinių bei mechaninių savybių, tačiau ELK šlakas yra atsparesnis gludinimui. Daug dėmesio buvo skirta laisviesiems CaO ir MgO, lemiantiems medžiagos nepatvarumą. Šie oksidai yra pagrindinis veiksnys, ribojantis plieno šlako naudojimą asfaltui gaminti. Резюме В статье ставилась цель исследовать возможности применения стальных шлаков, образующихся в процессе производства стали в дуговой сталеплавильной печи (ДСП), для производства асфальтовой смеси. Исследовались физические и химические свойства шлака из ДСП. Текстура, морфология и состав стального шлака определялись с использованием оптической микроскопии, дифракции рентгеновских лучей, электронной микроскопии, энергодисперсной спектрометрии и γ-спектрометрического анализа. Образцы шлака из ДСП были взяты на заводе по производству стали в Хорватии. Геометрические, физико-механические и прочностные свойства образцов сравнивались со свойствами других шлаков (из Словении) и с натуральными материалами. Полученные результаты подтвердили возможность применения шлака исследованной стали и натурального камня для производства асфальтовой смеси. Натуральные материалы, применяемые в асфальтовых смесях при строительстве магистралей и дорог с интенсивным движением, и исследованный стальной шлак обладают приблизительно одинаковыми хорошими физико-механическими свойствами, однако шлак из ДСП более устойчив при шлифовании. При анализе большое внимание также уделялось свободным CaO и MgO, вызывающим нестабильность материала. Эти оксиды являются основным фактором, лимитирующим применение стального шлака при производстве асфальта.

The Impact

Steel industry results in accumulation of steel slag wastes causing severe environmental problems. These wastes can be recycled and replace natural aggregates resulting in sustainable green concrete. In this research, natural aggregates in self-compacting concrete (SCC) are replaced, wholly or partly, by steel slag coarse aggregates that were produced by crushing by-product boulders obtained from the steel industry. Fresh properties, (workability, stability, bleeding, air content, and fresh density) are the crucial ones that affect the final properties of SCC. Therefore, it becomes important to evaluate the impact of SSA on the fresh properties of SCC mixes. The properties that are studied include stability, flowability, blocking, segregation, and bleeding. Furthermore, air content and fresh density are measured. In order to evaluate the impact of SSA on SCC properties, several testing methods are employed. Slump flow, V-funnel, column segregation, sieve segregation, segregation probe, U-shaped box, and VSI tests have been used in the study. The results show that it is possible to produce SCC using steel slag aggregate. Hence, green sustainable SCC can be produced. The results show that the fresh properties become sensitive for SSA replacement ratios exceeding 50%.

It has now been found that industrial solid waste management is a major worldwide concern. Because of its heavy price effects, which cause economic and other environmental risks, most industries are not interested in the therapy and secure disposal of these waste. The disposal of waste foundry sand and slag is of main significance due to the trivial amount produced from the foundries throughout the world. Steel slag is a waste product produced during steel production. This waste has disposed of in the form of landfills, which creates enormous pollution of the soil. As a result, the need to use these waste is very essential due to increased demand to protect the usual environment, mainly in fields where it is built up. Consequently, replacing of natural aggregates with foundry slag would lead in considerable environmental advantages. In addition, paver blocks that are commonly used in building are inferior to burnt clay bricks in structure. In this project, therefore, normal fine and coarse aggregate should be substituted by foundry slag and foundry sand in the paver block. Several studies will be used to perform the studies, including compressive strength testing, tensile strength testing and flexure strength testing. Foundry waste is gathered from Foundries around Coimbatore.

The beam column joint failure normally occurs due to the natural disaster like a strong earthquake, which leads to the collapse of buildings. A huge number of experimental studies have been conducted on beam-column joints made up of SCC using Natural aggregates. Only a few numbers of studies have been done on SCC (Self Compacting Concrete) made up of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA). So, there is a necessity arises to conduct the experiments on beam-column joints produced with SCC using Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA). This paper presents behaviour of beam-column joint made up of SCC with RCA. A series of ten beam-column joints with three interior joints and two exterior joints were subjected to loading test, and the results were obtained in terms of load carrying capacity, ultimate load at failure and deformation curves. The obtained results gave experimental evidence of the applicability of RCA in SCC beam-column joints.

The study deals with the effect of using Slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) with the reinforced concrete beams to explore its enhancement to the flexural capacity. The experimental work consists of the casting of six beams, two beams were fully cast by conventional concrete (CC) and SIFCON, as references. While the remaining was made by contributing a layer of SIFCON diverse in-depth and position, towards complete the overall depths of the built-up beam with conventional concrete CC. Also, an investigation was done through the control specimens testing about the mechanical properties of SIFCON. The results showed a stiffer behavior with a significant increase in load-carrying capacity when SIFCON used in tension zones. Otherwise high ductility and energy dissipation appeared when SIFCON placed in compression zones with a slight increment in ultimate load. The high volumetric ratio of steel fibers enabled SIFCON to magnificent tensile properties.

Modelling Process

To investigate the effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) addition and consequently porosity, two different sets of membranes are manufactured, since PVP is a widely used poring agent which has an impact on the mechanical properties of the membrane material. The first set (PAN 1) includes polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the necessary solvent while the second set (PAN 2) is made of PAN and PVP. These membranes are put through several characterisation processes including tensile testing. The obtained data are used to model the static behaviour of the membranes with different geometries but similar loading and boundary conditions that represent their operating conditions. This modelling process is undertaken by using the finite element method. The main idea is to investigate how geometry affects the load-carrying capacity of the membranes. Alongside membrane modelling, their materials are modelled with representative elements with hexagonal and rectangular pore arrays (RE) to understand the impact of porosity on the mechanical properties. Exploring the results, the best geometry is found as the elliptic membrane with the aspect ratio 4 and the better RE as the hexagonal array which can predict the elastic properties with an approximate error of 12%.

Working Equids

There are approximately 112 million working equids in developing countries, many of which are associated with brick kilns. Brick kilns and overloading are associated with welfare problems in working equids. Understanding equids’ abilities and influencing factors are important for both effective performance and welfare. Traditionally, measurement of the amount of ‘bone’ was used, and more recently, gait symmetry has been identified as a potential marker for loading capacity. Assessment of stride parameters and gait kinematics provides insights into adaptations to loading and may help determine cut-off loads. Physiological factors such as the ability to regain normal heart rates shortly after work is an important tool for equine fitness assessment and a more accurate measure of load-carrying capacity than absolute heart rate. Oxidative stress, plasma lactate, and serum creatine kinase activity are reliable biochemical indicators of loading ability. For monitoring stress, salivary cortisol is superior to serum cortisol level for assessment of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and is related to eye temperatures, but this has yet to be interpreted in terms of load-carrying ability in equids. Further research is needed to standardize the evidence-based load-carrying capacity of working horses and donkeys.

Local Sourcing

The EU28 total lime demand in 2017 was estimated at about 20 million tons, out of which about 40% are consumed in the iron and steel industry. Steel remains the major consumer after environment and construction. The lime industry is quite mature and consolidated in developed countries, with enough reserves and production to serve regional markets while being fragmented in developing nations where steel producers rely on local sourcing. There is relatively very little trade for lime worldwide. Lime has a critical role at different steps of the steelmaking process, and especially to make a good slag facilitating the removal of sulphur and phosphorus, and for providing a safer platform to withstand high intensity arc plasma in the electric arc furnace (EAF), and violent reactions in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF). Lime quality and quantity has a direct effect on slag quality, which affects metallurgical results, refractory life, liquid metal yield, and productivity, and therefore the total cost of the steel production. In this paper, we present the importance of careful selection in the limestone and calcination process, which influences critical lime quality characteristics. We shall further elaborate on the impact of lime characteristics in the optimization of the steelmaking process, metallurgical benefits, overall cost impact, potential savings, and environmental benefits.
