Abstract
Abstract: The utilization of steel slag in bituminous mixes has been gaining popularity due to environmental concerns and the potential for cost savings. However, it's essential to manage steel slag properly to prevent environmental and health hazards. To control the impact of steel slag, various efforts have been undertaken. Bituminous concrete performance is influenced by factors like binder grade and the aggregate blend. While numerous studies have examined steel slag's performance in bituminous concrete, there is still a need of more research on optimal mix design. Typically, the ideal quantity of steel slag in bituminous mixes falls within the range of 10% to 15%. It's crucial to thoroughly understand the effect of steel slag on the mechanical properties of the mix, often measured using Marshall Stability Test. In India, there hasn't been extensive work on varying percentages of steel slag in bituminous concrete and its resistance against stripping, despite numerous studies on the properties of steel slag aggregates. This paper aims to consolidate the research studies on the enhancements in bituminous mix properties by partial replacement with steel slag, as well as exploring the potential benefits of incorporating steel slag in bituminous concrete mixes.
