Abstract
Several counties in the Midwest have been successfully using steel furnace slag as a key component in pavement reclamation projects. This presentation covers an overview of techniques used; proper characterization of sustainable steel slag materials; specifications, test results, and comparisons to other materials; a review of one agency’s decision-making process; and an overview of the field results obtained utilizing the light weight deflectometer (LWD) as a QC tool.
