Accumulation of various waste materials and its effective disposal is now becoming a major concern for Industries and the Environmentalist around the globe. The steel slag which is a by-product of steel processing plant after recycling becomes a promising resource as an aggregate for construction of roads and soil stabilization due to its exceptional strength, toughness, hardness, soundness and other inherent desirable properties. Many of the developed countries have declared this waste as a useful resource rather than waste and have incorporated a significant portion of this waste materials into road construction as aggregate in surfacing and base of flexible pavements. India being second largest producer of Steel in the world, generates million tons of waste every year including steel slag, blast furnace slag and fly ash. Therefore, a series of experimental tasks have been carried out by the agencies related to roads in India for widespread use of these waste from steel plant. In recent years roads have been constructed in India at few places namely-Visakhapatnam, Bokaro, Rourkela, Delhi, Surat and a part of National Highway-713 in Arunachal Pradesh using steel slag. This study presents a summary of recent developments in utilization of steel slag as a road aggregate and its suitability in Indian road infrastructure projects.
