electric arc furnace slag and blast furnace dust, use for the manufacture of asphalt concrete for roads

This paper analyzes how feasible it is to use electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregate, and blast furnace dust as fine aggregate in the manufacture of hot asphalt concrete for roads. three mixtures were designed using the ramcodes methodology, the m1 mixture of control with conventional materials, the m2 mixture replacing 50% and the m3 mixture replacing 100% of the conventional aggregates, which were submitted to tests to evaluate the susceptibility to moisture damage and plastic deformation, as well as others to determine the resilient modulus and the fatigue laws for each type of mixture. the mixtures with eaf and bfd presented better mechanical characteristics than the mixture with natural aggregates, met the acceptance requirements and the results of the performance tests are within the required requirements.
