ABSTRACT
Using aggregate in the field of construction increase rapidly and looking for alternative
source of aggregate assumed to be more important. The objective of this research at first is to study
the effect of using steel slag aggregates in the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. Secondly
make comparative study of using steel slag aggregate and crushed limestone in asphalt concrete
mixtures. Slag from industrial waste for the production of iron, which causes serious environmental
problem. The use of steel slag aggregates is means of preserving the environment as well as reduces
the energy needed to search for natural aggregates and prepared for use in mixtures. In this research
have been the adoption percentages of bitumen 4.0% 4.5% 5.0% 5.5% 6.0% to find the optimal ratio
of bitumen for asphalt concrete mixtures. The results have been obtained with the optimum bitumen
content (5.02%) for asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed limestone and optimum bitumen content
(5.60%) for asphalt concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate. The Marshall stability of asphalt
concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate is 1.50 higher than mixtures with Crushed limestone
aggregate. From the result it can be seen that using steel slag aggregate is useful for resist rutting and
suitable for pavement in hot climate area.

iron, combined with oxides Calcium and magnesium. Slag out of the oven at a temperature of liquid
1500 °C [1,2]. There are plenty of solutions that have been put forward to solve this problem such as
reuse of materials as an alternative to exploiting natural resources. Steel slag also can be used in the
raw meal for the production of Portland cement clinker. The result shows that using steel slag hasn't
negative effect on the properties of the produced cement [3]. Steel slag was used in cement concrete
and the mechanical properties and durability ware evaluated. Durability characteristics of steel slag
cement concretes are better than those of crushed limestone aggregate concrete. Steel slag concrete
has higher Fracture toughness than limestone aggregate concrete. [4,5]. The use of steel slag in
concrete would enhance the strength of concrete, especially tensile strength [6]. On the other hand
steel slag was used in the field of highway construction. Resistance to low temperature cark and
roughness were improving by using steel slag aggregate as compare to basalt aggregate. Mechanical
properties and electrical conductivity for steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures were better than asphalt
concrete limestone mixtures. Steel slag asphalt mixes have extremely high stabilities which directly
affect the pavement performance. High stability means high resistance to deformation [7, 8].
Indirect tensile test as well as single axes test was used to evaluate fatigue characteristic and low
temperature crack for steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures. On the other hand trail section was paved
and the evaluation of the paved section performance was comparable with lab test result [9]. No
significant problems with moisture damage were noted in steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures.
Satisfactory results were obtained by using steel slag aggregate asphalt concrete mixtures compared
with mixtures containing natural aggregates [10, 11]. Steel furnace slag is considered an acceptable
aggregate type for asphalt concrete mixtures to produce asphalt mixtures more resistance to rutting.
The problem in using steel slag in asphalt pavement is the cost. Because of high specific gravity of
steel slag the pavement thickness produced by a ton of steel slag is considerably less than that
produced by any other coarse aggregate type. High rigidity and excellent friction resistance by using
slag steel aggregate in asphalt concrete mixtures were observed for the lab result. These results show
that the use of steel slag in stone matrices asphalt is superior to the common asphalt concrete [12,
13]. Different types of test were used to evaluate the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures.
Marshall Method was used to design and control asphalt concrete mixtures. Marshall method is
acceptable by the highway agencies all over the world [14, 15]. The properties of asphalt concrete
mixtures depend on the properties of the used aggregate. Mineral aggregate constitutes
approximately 95% of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) by weight. Different type of aggregate used to
produce asphalt concrete mixtures such as crushed basalt, crushed dolomite and crushed limestone
[16, 17].
2. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM
Asphalt mixtures are a homogeneous mixture of paving materials include bitumen and
aggregate various levels and some additives such as powder and polymer. Bitumen is mixed with
aggregates to form a coherent dense mass when they stick together and this leads to an increase in
the strength of the mixture. Asphalt concrete affected by the characteristics of each of the
components separately or combined. Asphalt mixture gives an important function of these mixtures;
especially its ability to resist various stresses experienced by the result of loads of traffic and changes
of temperature, the mixtures of asphalt required must be of high quality. This is achieved by the
availability of a number of engineering and mechanical properties and the most important properties
are (Stability) and (Flow). The main objective of the design of asphalt mixtures is to obtain a mixture
of aggregates and bitumen to be economically and achieve the required safety within the
specifications. Asphalt mixture should contain a suitable and sufficient proportion of bitumen so that
it has the ability to weather resistant. Finally the workability should be enough to allow the
completion of the pave and compaction efficiently [18- 20].

“Qena” quarry, Qena Governorate was used in this study. Steel slag aggregate obtained from Ezz
steel factory in Suez Governorate. A crusher in the lab was used to make the steel slag in the same
size like crushed limestone. Different test were used to evaluate the physical, mechanical and
chemical properties of the used aggregate.

3.1.3 Scan electron microscope
Scanning electron microscope uses electrons with a capacity of (speed) between 100 electron
volts to 300 electron volts. Electron microscopy exploits duality wave
magnetic to focus and adjust the ray of the electrons. In this magnetic microscope lenses focused ray
of electrons on the sample. In order to portray the point
beam of electrons on the sample by a pair of magnets are perpend
deflection and change the position across the sample without changing the primary angle of
incidence. Scanning electron microscope used to know the exact composition of the surface of cells
and details exploits counterattack and scattered electrons as a result of a collision with the sample.
The image is of electrons on the counterattack parts of the body, leading to the formation of a three
dimensional image resulting from imaging surfaces [25, 26]. From the image the steel
have higher voids in the surface and this will affect
higher voids needs higher bitumen content.

3.2 Bitumen
The bitumen, which accounted for in the mixture between 3.5% to 5.5% typically, where
these ratios depend on the quality of aggregate and the degree of aggregate absorption. The function
of bitumen in asphalt concrete mixtures is to connect aggregate with
with good mechanical properties. Bitumen is heavily influenced at varying temperatures, rainfall and
snow accumulation. Bitumen is affected by natural oxidation of its components, which increases the

statute of limitations attributed to the age where bitumen bituminous mixture gradually loses its
characteristic viscosity and then bonding agent starts to decrease, which mainly affect the degree of
flexibility of bituminous mixture, performance and service life[27, 28]... In this work bitumen

4. MARSHALL MIX DESIGN
Since 1940, asphalt concrete mixtures are designed using the method of Marshall or Hveem
both methods help implementers to know the optimum bitumen content that are used. Asphalt
mixtures used in the paving surface of layer for important highways, whether inside or outside the
cities. The main objective of the mix design is to create an economic mix of materials is included,
and the proportion of asphalt mixture gives the following properties. A) Asphalt ratio sufficient to
enough durability and flexibility in the mixture. B) Sufficient strength to resist the flow requirements
of the traffic. For the development and application of asphalt mixture design concepts in a Marshall
method was formed in 1939 by Bruce Marshall. Design Criteria was adopted by Marshall standard
way by ASTM International under the number (ASTM DISS9). Marshall method used asphalt
paving mixtures using hot asphalt. Marshall method used to design asphalt paving mixtures using
bitumen known with the degree of penetration or viscosity and contain granules maximum aggregate
size (1 inch = 25 mm) or less. Method can be used for the design mixtures in the lab or to control the
mixture of asphalt in the field. Trial number specimens were prepared in laboratory at five different
bitumen contents. Three specimens for were chosen each bitumen content and the average of the test
result was taken.

The specimens are then marked and stored over night for stability and flow measurements.
Before the stability and flow tests were performed the specimens were kept in water bath at 60 oC
for 30 minutes. The optimum bitumen content is selected based on stability, unit weight, and
specified percent air voids in the total mix [29, 31]. Table (4) presented asphalt concrete mixtures
design according Egyptian specification (4C) for mixtures with crushed limestone aggregate and
mixtures with steel slag aggregate.
5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The volumetric properties and Marshall testing results of the average of triplicate specimens
for all selected asphalt contents are presented in table (5) and table (6). A graphical representation of
Marshall stability, flow, unit weight, air voids (Vv) and voids filled with bitumen (VFB) is presented
in in figure (5) to figure (9) for both asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed lime stone and steel
slag aggregate. The optimum bitumen content was the optimum bitumen content (5.02%) for asphalt
concrete mixtures using crushed limestone and optimum bitumen content (5.60%) for asphalt
concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate.

From figure (5) to figure (9) asphalt concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate have higher
stability 1.50 times than asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed limestone aggregate. On the other
hand marshal flow is higher for asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed limestone aggregate by 30%
than mixtures using steel slag aggregate. But asphalt concrete mixtures with slag steel aggregate
have higher void ratio because the steel slag have more voids in the surface. All result indicates that
steel slag aggregate can be used as asphalt mixtures aggregate with some limitation due to cost.

6. CONCLUSION
This study presents and discusses the results of using steel slag aggregate Instead of crushed
limestone aggregate, to evaluate the effectiveness of using steel slag aggregate in highway
construction works. The presented results and discussions reveal the following main conclusions.
Steel slag aggregate have higher density than crushed limestone aggregate this will affect the cost if
we compare the same amount from crushed lime stone aggregate and steel slag aggregate. As
compared to crushed limestone aggregate, steel slag aggregate is suitable when the pavement is near
from the steel factory to reduce the cost of transportation. The flow for asphalt concrete mixtures
with steel slag aggregate is smaller than flow for asphalt concrete mixtures with crushed limestone
this will be good indicator that this mixtures can resist deformation. Marshall stability for asphalt
concrete mixtures with steel slag aggregate is 1.50 higher than stability for asphalt concrete mixtures
with crushed limestone this will be good indicator that this mixtures can resist rutting.

Slag out of the oven at a temperature of liquid 1500 °C [1,2]. There are plenty of solutions that have been put forward to solve this problem such as reuse of materials as an alternative to exploiting natural resources. Steel slag also can be used in the raw meal for the production of Portland cement clinker. The result shows that using steel slag hasn't negative effect on the properties of the produced cement [3]. Steel slag was used in cement concrete and the mechanical properties and durability ware evaluated. Durability characteristics of steel slag cement concretes are better than those of crushed limestone aggregate concrete. Steel slag concrete has higher Fracture toughness than limestone aggregate concrete. [4,5]. The use of steel slag in concrete would enhance the strength of concrete, especially tensile strength [6]. On the other hand steel slag was used in the field of highway construction. Resistance to low temperature cark and roughness were improving by using steel slag aggregate as compare to basalt aggregate. Mechanical properties and electrical conductivity for steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures were better than asphalt concrete limestone mixtures. Steel slag asphalt mixes have extremely high stabilities which directly affect the pavement performance. High stability means high resistance to deformation [7, 8]. Indirect tensile test as well as single axes test was used to evaluate fatigue characteristic and low temperature crack for steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures. On the other hand trail section was paved and the evaluation of the paved section performance was comparable with lab test result [9]. No significant problems with moisture damage were noted in steel slag asphalt concrete mixtures. Satisfactory results were obtained by using steel slag aggregate asphalt concrete mixtures compared with mixtures containing natural aggregates [10, 11]. Steel furnace slag is considered an acceptable aggregate type for asphalt concrete mixtures to produce asphalt mixtures more resistance to rutting. The problem in using steel slag in asphalt pavement is the cost. Because of high specific gravity of steel slag the pavement thickness produced by a ton of steel slag is considerably less than that produced by any other coarse aggregate type. High rigidity and excellent friction resistance by using slag steel aggregate in asphalt concrete mixtures were observed for the lab result. These results show that the use of steel slag in stone matrices asphalt is superior to the common asphalt concrete [12, 13]. Different types of test were used to evaluate the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. Marshall Method was used to design and control asphalt concrete mixtures. Marshall method is acceptable by the highway agencies all over the world [14, 15]. The properties of asphalt concrete mixtures depend on the properties of the used aggregate. Mineral aggregate constitutes approximately 95% of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) by weight. Different type of aggregate used to produce asphalt concrete mixtures such as crushed basalt, crushed dolomite and crushed limestone [16, 17]. 2. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM Asphalt mixtures are a homogeneous mixture of paving materials include bitumen and aggregate various levels and some additives such as powder and polymer. Bitumen is mixed with aggregates to form a coherent dense mass when they stick together and this leads to an increase in the strength of the mixture. Asphalt concrete affected by the characteristics of each of the components separately or combined. Asphalt mixture gives an important function of these mixtures; especially its ability to resist various stresses experienced by the result of loads of traffic and changes of temperature, the mixtures of asphalt required must be of high quality. This is achieved by the availability of a number of engineering and mechanical properties and the most important properties are (Stability) and (Flow). The main objective of the design of asphalt mixtures is to obtain a mixture of aggregates and bitumen to be economically and achieve the required safety within the specifications. Asphalt mixture should contain a suitable and sufficient proportion of bitumen so that it has the ability to weather resistant. Finally the workability should be enough to allow the completion of the pave and compaction efficiently [18- 20].

MATERIALS 3.1 Aggregate Aggregate: two types of aggregate were used in this study. Crushed Limestone obtained from “Qena” quarry, Qena Governorate was used in this study. Steel slag aggregate obtained from Ezz steel factory in Suez Governorate. A crusher in the lab was used to make the steel slag in the same size like crushed limestone. Different test were used to evaluate the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the used aggregate. 3.1.1 Aggregate tests Traditional tests of aggregates were done to determine specific gravity, bulk density and Los Angles Abrasion [21, 22].

MARSHALL MIX DESIGN Since 1940, asphalt concrete mixtures are designed using the method of Marshall or Hveem both methods help implementers to know the optimum bitumen content that are used. Asphalt mixtures used in the paving surface of layer for important highways, whether inside or outside the cities. The main objective of the mix design is to create an economic mix of materials is included, and the proportion of asphalt mixture gives the following properties. A) Asphalt ratio sufficient to enough durability and flexibility in the mixture. B) Sufficient strength to resist the flow requirements of the traffic. For the development and application of asphalt mixture design concepts in a Marshall method was formed in 1939 by Bruce Marshall. Design Criteria was adopted by Marshall standard way by ASTM International under the number (ASTM DISS9). Marshall method used asphalt paving mixtures using hot asphalt. Marshall method used to design asphalt paving mixtures using bitumen known with the degree of penetration or viscosity and contain granules maximum aggregate size (1 inch = 25 mm) or less. Method can be used for the design mixtures in the lab or to control the mixture of asphalt in the field. Trial number specimens were prepared in laboratory at five different bitumen contents. Three specimens for were chosen each bitumen content and the average of the test result was taken. Table 4.Asphalt concrete mixtures design.

Before the stability and flow tests were performed the specimens were kept in water bath at 60 oC for 30 minutes. The optimum bitumen content is selected based on stability, unit weight, and specified percent air voids in the total mix [29, 31]. Table (4) presented asphalt concrete mixtures design according Egyptian specification (4C) for mixtures with crushed limestone aggregate and mixtures with steel slag aggregate. 5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The volumetric properties and Marshall testing results of the average of triplicate specimens for all selected asphalt contents are presented in table (5) and table (6). A graphical representation of Marshall stability, flow, unit weight, air voids (Vv) and voids filled with bitumen (VFB) is presented in in figure (5) to figure (9) for both asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed lime stone and steel slag aggregate. The optimum bitumen content was the optimum bitumen content (5.02%) for asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed limestone and optimum bitumen content (5.60%) for asphalt concrete mixtures using steel slag aggregate.

On the other hand marshal flow is higher for asphalt concrete mixtures using crushed limestone aggregate by 30% than mixtures using steel slag aggregate. But asphalt concrete mixtures with slag steel aggregate have higher void ratio because the steel slag have more voids in the surface. All result indicates that steel slag aggregate can be used as asphalt mixtures aggregate with some limitation due to cost.

CONCLUSION This study presents and discusses the results of using steel slag aggregate Instead of crushed limestone aggregate, to evaluate the effectiveness of using steel slag aggregate in highway construction works. The presented results and discussions reveal the following main conclusions. Steel slag aggregate have higher density than crushed limestone aggregate this will affect the cost if we compare the same amount from crushed lime stone aggregate and steel slag aggregate. As compared to crushed limestone aggregate, steel slag aggregate is suitable when the pavement is near from the steel factory to reduce the cost of transportation. The flow for asphalt concrete mixtures with steel slag aggregate is smaller than flow for asphalt concrete mixtures with crushed limestone this will be good indicator that this mixtures can resist deformation. Marshall stability for asphalt concrete mixtures with steel slag aggregate is 1.50 higher than stability for asphalt concrete mixtures with crushed limestone this will be good indicator that this mixtures can resist rutting. 7.
