Shear strength assessment of reinforced concrete components containing EAF steel slag aggregates

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag can be reused as aggregate in Portland cement concrete mixes. The addition of EAFS and other waste co-products (fly ash, blast furnace slag) will modify the binding properties will, importantly, enhance global sustainability such concretes. These mix designs offer acceptable pumpability self-compaction fresh state reinforced with fibers. In this study, eight different mixes are designed within range medium-strength concretes (30–50 MPa) characterized both hardened state. Large volumes used to pour beams, which then subjected small-span high-load tests evaluate their resistance shear stress, by analyzing two types transversal (shear) reinforcement. yielded promising results, contributing additional evidence on viability using recycled structural applications. mechanical behavior these was closely correlated strength predictions calculated formulas listed various international standards.
