A Review of Research and Performance Assessment on the Sustainable Application of Industrial Slag in Reinforced Ferrocement Slabs

View through CrossRef
Abstract Ferrocement, patented in 1856, is recognized for its efficiency and sustainability in structural applications. This paper reviews studies on reinforced ferrocement slabs, focusing on industrial slag incorporation as an eco-friendly alternative material. The review evaluates mechanical properties, structural behavior, and environmental benefits compared to conventional concrete. Industrial slag, by-products of manufacturing processes, show significant potential in enhancing ferrocement performance while reducing environmental impact. Optimal replacement levels were identified as 50% for ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and 15% for metakaolin, beyond which performance may decline. The study highlights nanoscale materials (nano-silica and nano-fly ash) for microstructural improvement, with nano-fly ash performing effectively at replacement levels up to 10%. This review provides insights into using industrial slag and nano-byproducts to develop sustainable, high-performance ferrocement slabs, advancing eco-efficient construction practices.
