2017 Use of Steel Slag in Rubble-Mound Marine Structures

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.
