Recovery and valorization of steelmaking slag as aggregates for the production of durable and sustainable concrete - 2026_IDR_DCMC_6

Position: Research appointment (pre-doc) Institute: Polytechnic of Milano
Posted on: 19/02/2026 Deadline: 16/03/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

09/IMAT-01 - Materials Science And Technology

Description

The objective of the research program is to demonstrate the feasibility of using steelmaking slag as aggregates for the production of durable and sustainable concrete, capable of meeting different market requirements in terms of mechanical performance and durability. The properties of concretes produced with aggregates derived from steelmaking slag will be compared with those of concretes made with natural aggregates. In particular, the concretes will be characterized with reference to compressive strength, carbonation penetration, and chloride penetration. Different replacement ratios of natural aggregates with steelmaking slag will be considered in order to evaluate the impact on the performance and durability of the material.
