Abstract
A concrete product which uses 100% of the melt slags and pulverizes the melt slags into aggregates and fine powders, grinds the aggregates so that the percentage of absolute volume of the aggregates is over 60%, mixes the aggregates, fine powders, water and cement, and forms the mixture into the concrete product by vibration or press molding.
Claims3
A method of fabricating a concrete product using aggregates and fine powder provided solely from melt slag, comprising the steps of:
- pulverizing melt slags into coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and fine powders;
- subjecting the coarse and fine aggregates to a grinding process so as to have a percentage of absolute volume thereof of more than 60%;
- mixing the coarse aggregates, the fine aggregates, and fine powders with water and cement with the ratio of from 0 to 12.0 parts by weight of the coarse aggregates, from 7.0 to 20.0 parts by weight of the fine aggregates, 1.0 parts by weight of the fine powders, from 0.7 to 3.5 parts by weight of water and from 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of cement;
- and
- subjecting the mixture to vibration or press molding to obtain a concrete product having a flexural strength of at least 61.2 kgf/cm.sup.2 and a compressive strength of at least 482 kgf/cm.sup.2.
