	%X Steel slag is a by-product of the steel industry and can
be used potentially as aggregate in the asphalt mixture. This study
evaluates the use of Steel Slag Aggregates (SSA) as a substitute for
natural aggregates in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for
road construction. Based on intensive laboratory testing program, the
characteristic properties of SSA were assessed to determine its
suitability to be used in HMA. Four different percentages (0, 50, 75,
and 100%) of SSA were used, and the proposed mix designs for
HMA were conducted in accordance with Marshall mix design. The
experiment results revealed that the addition of SSA has a significant
improvement on the properties of HMA. An increase in density and
stability and a reduction in flow and air voids values were clearly
observed in specimens prepared with 100% SSA. It is concluded that
the steel slag can be considered reasonable alternative source of
aggregate for concrete asphalt mixture production.
