Analysis behavior of reinforcement in a reinforced concrete beam using steel slag replacing crushed-stone aggregate

Abstract

Quarrying cause pollution and environmental destruction, natural resources dwindling, while sand mining could cause the river erosion, change in flow, and ecological imbalance. Besides, steel slag is scrap produced along with the development of the iron industry. This waste without proper treatment will affect the environment. The utilization of steel slag as raw material replaced crushed rock in concrete production is a study topic in order to reduce environmental pollution caused by steel slag. The behaviors of reinforcement in a reinforced concrete beam using steel slag replacing crushed-stone aggregate, which is called as SRCB, are explored in the article. It is presented in comparison with reinforcement in crushed-stone aggregate concretes (RCB).
