Possibility of using domestic slag as concrete aggregate

Abstract

Opisana su ispitivanja, provedena u skladu s hrvatskim normama, da bi se ustanovila mogućnost uporabe domaće zgure kao agregata u betonu. Agregat je specificiran prema razredbi danoj u HRN EN 12620/AC:2006 a dobiveni razredi po pojedinom svojstvu agregata uspoređeni su sa zahtjevima hrvatskih propisa. Rezultati pokazuju da se može domaća zgura rabiti kao agregat u betonu, što bi pridonijelo zbrinjavanju te vrste otpada i očuvanju uobičajeno rabljenih agregata iz prirode.Tests conducted in accordance with Croatian standards in order to define possibility of using domestic slag as concrete aggregate, are described. The aggregate is specified according to classification given in HRN EN 12620/AC:2006, and categories obtained for individual aggregate properties are compared with requirements contained in Croatian regulations. The results show that domestic slag can in fact be used as concrete aggregate. Such use would contribute to proper management of this type of waste and to preservation of aggregate normally taken from nature
