METHOD FOR PRODUCING CINDER CONCRETE

The invention relates to a method for producing cinder concrete, for the valorisation of industrial waste, the slag in this case originating in the electric arc furnace steel industry, by means of the encapsulation thereof in a ceramic matrix of a composite material such as concrete, using it as a hydraulic binder. The method consists in substituting part of the cement, which is applied as a binder, with stainless steel slag, given the cementing characteristics thereof, in a quantity of up to a total of 25 percent of the cement. Said slags are highly abrasive, which provides the resulting concrete with a high resistance to wear. This characteristic means that the concrete obtained by means of said method is optimum for producing structures such as accropodes, tetrapods and/or caissons for marine filling, arranged as ripraps for shelter from the sea.
