Abstract
This paper describes the deformation characteristics of a base-course material which is a mixture of steel-making slag, blast-furnace slag and fly ash pellet (here called ‘the compound slag B’). The deformation characteristics are investigated by carrying out a repeated loading triaxial compression test: the equations expressing the resilient and permanent deformation behaviour are presented. It is shown that the compound slag B exhibits better deformation characteristics than Hydraulic mechanically stabilized slag (HMS), a standard slag base-course and that the same equations of representing the resilient and permanent deformation behaviour are applicable to the compound slag B as those for HMS and a previously-investigated compound slag.
