Cyclic lateral behavior of piles embedded in partially improved soil by iron and steelmaking slag

Production and Crystallization Behavior of an Iron Rich Glass–Ceramic Prepared by Ironmaking and Steelmaking Wastes

Using wastes as starting raw materials is a common method to reduce the production costs and the environmental pollution problems arising from such wastes. In this study the production and crystallization behavior of an iron rich glass prepared by iron and steel making wastes has been investigated. The raw materials used, were the blast furnace slag, the blast furnace dust, converter slag and s...

Processing and Reusing Technologies for Steelmaking Slag

About 40 million tons of steel slag a year, which is the by-product of iron and steel manufacture, is generated in Japan and the almost all the slag is reused for the materials, e.g. cement raw material, road base course material and civil engineering material, by effectively utilizing its characteristics such as chemical components and mechanical properties. Most of its purposes of uses are to...

Centrifuge Studies of Cyclic Lateral Load-displacement Behavior of Single Piles

Experimental Load Transfer of Piles Subject to Lateral Soil Movement

Remediation of slope failures requires stabilization alternatives that address causes of slope instability. Slope reinforcement and pile stabilization systems, if properly designed, are effective in preventing slope movements in weak soils. Soil load transfer to pile elements from the lateral soil movement as occurs in slope failures is a complex soil-structure interaction problem, and the sign...

Possible Uses of Steelmaking Slag in Agriculture: An Overview

Over the past decades, the steel production has increased and, consequently, the higher volumes of by-products and residues generated have driven to the reuse of these materials in an increasingly efficient way. In recent years new technologies have been expanded, and some of them are still under developing, in order to improve the recovery rates of slags. On this subject material separation te...
