Abstract

Most firming agent used in Korea is cement-firming agent. Cement-firming agent absorb water for combination, and then it makes ettringite. Through this chemical process, soft ground is firmed by cement-firming agent. Although most cement-firming agent used in Korea made from CSA, it relies on imports. Therefore, the development of soft ground firming agent using new materials is required. In this study, we suggested that EAF reduction slag not used for anything in the steel industry is available for material of soft ground firming agent. If EAF reduction slag is used in soft ground firming agent, it will be possible to solve the problem with treatment of slag and improvement of soft ground.
