The slag from the steel industry has been utilized for a
variety of purposes ranging from road construction, cement
production and fill material. The usability of steel slag is
economically important since vast amount of steel slag is produced
as a by-product of steel industry. For each usage type of steel slag,
proper tests and analyses must be performed in order to ensure
that the material exhibits the necessary performance and
reconciles with environmental codes of practice. In this study, the
steel slag from Erdemir and İsdemir (two major steel production
facilities in Turkey) has been tested by means of physical
modelling in the Hydraulic Laboratory of Istanbul Technical
University for determination of their suitability to be used in
rubble-mound marine structures. Results indicated that steel slag
can be a viable alternative as a core material in marine structures;
given it is high grain density and shear strength. With these
positive results, it turns out the use of steel slag in core of rubblemound structure is likely to contribute the effective usage of the
material and constitutes an innegligible recycling opportunity.
