Possibilities of application of slag in road construction

Road construction is an activity in which natural resources are utilized the most in comparison with other branches of civil engineering. Large quantities of natural materials, gravel, rocks and sand are built into kilometres of newly-built roads or in reconstruction of decrepit roads. At the same time, the sustainable development concept requires a more efficient management of waste materials and preservation of environment. The paper presents the basic characteristics of slag, describes some of foreign research studies carried our so far, and analyses domestic experience and the possibilities of the application of slag in road building in the Republic of Croatia.
