- Abstract
Manufacturing artificial aggregate by utilizing waste materials has gained great importance as the aggregate occupies a high volume in concrete (60-70%). In this paper, ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) is utilized in aggregate manufacturing. Cold bonding and sintering methods were used as production processes. The pellets were put through a series of tests such as dry density, specific gravity, water absorption, and crushing strength. The results indicated that the density of pellets increased by increasing the GGBFS dosage while the water absorption capacity was reduced. Furthermore, the highest crushed strength was recorded at 50% addition of GGBFS.
