TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of partially substituting natural aggregates with Black/Oxidizing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag in concrete production was comprehensively investigated and five recycled and one traditional mixes were produced to identify a convenient substitution ratio for the concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using Black/Oxidizing Electric Arc Furnace slag (EAF) as coarse aggregate to produce High Performance Concrete (HPC) was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the design of self-compacting concrete with recycled concrete aggregate, both by itself and in combination with other wastes, is presented and assessed, and the mix-design of the selfcompacting concretes that contain them, as well as relevant results on the fresh state (workability, rheology), the hardened state (compressive strength, splitting tensile and flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, density, and porosity), durability (resistance to aggressive agents), long-term properties of concrete (shrinkage

TL;DR: An integrated plant for the extraction of virgin aggregates and recycling of construction and demolition waste was analyzed as significant case study, with the aim to identify the influence of sustainable solutions on the overall emissions of the facility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an environmental impacts assessment related to the production of concrete containing EAF slag compared to a traditional one, through Life Cycle Analysis framework using a cradle-to-gate approach.
