Technical Guides

The technical guide, which is supplementary to the Association’s 'Guide to the Use of Slag in Roads', reviews in some detail the properties of slag in cement and concrete. The guide is a technical evaluation supported by field experience, that shows a coproduct such as iron blast furnace slag has, in many applications, properties suitable to replace or supplement and improve traditional materials.

This Guide supersedes the 1993 version of “A Guide to the Use of Slag in Roads.” Since 1993 there have been significant improvements in road technology in Australasia, particularly in the area of pavement materials development and road stabilisation. Slag has played a significant part in these improvements.
