The Utilization of Slag in Civil Infrastructure Construction
This practical guide integrates the theory, research, and practice of slag utilization, including the production and processing of a broad range of ferrous, nonferrous, and nonmetallurgical slags. Focuses on slag utilization technology, reviewing basic properties and exploring how its use in the end product will be technically sound, environment-friendly, and economic.

The Utilization of Slag in Civil Infrastructure Construction strives to integrate the theory, research, and practice of slag utilization, including the production and processing of slags. The topics covered include: production and smelting processes for metals; chemical and physical properties of slags; pretreatment and post-treatment technology to enhance slag properties; potential environmental impact; mechanisms of potential expansion; special testing methods and characteristics; slag processing for aggregate and cementitious applications; suitability of slags for use in specific applications; overall properties of materials containing slags; and commercialization and economics. The focus of the book is on slag utilization technology, with a review of the basic properties and an exploration of how its use in the end product will be technically sound, environment-friendly, and economic.
