Potentials of steel slag and copper mine tailings as construction materials: a review

The present rate of utilisation of mine waste in a country like Malaysia is rather below expectation compared with some advanced countries. Many studies concentrate on a better way to increase the usage of industrial byproducts in order to ease disposal problems. Enormous quantities of steel slag an...
