Abstract
Air-cooled blast furnace slag is a metallurgical waste that can be used to produce the slag aggregate for pavement subbase. Slag aggregate is much cheaper than natural stone aggregate, but differs in heterogeneity in strength (from 2 to 40 MPa), tendency to absorb water, and low resistance to freezing-thawing. The paper suggests the use of methods of enrichment by friction properties, selective crushing, and hydrophobization to increase slag aggregate resistance to freezing-thawing cycles, crushing, and water penetration. Selection of the most strength (low porous) 75 % slag aggregate grains due to enrichment by friction properties decreases the total water absorption of the sample from 4.45 % to 3.64 %, decreases the sample mass loss after tests for resistance to freezing-thawing cycles from 5.05 % to 2.82 %, reduces the aggregate crushing value (ACV) from 30.71 % up to 23.80 %. Hydrophobization of the pre-enriched slag aggregate additionally reduces its water absorption to 1.08–––1.3 %.
