Abstract1: This Information Paper discusses general considerations associated with the use of industrial by-products in construction and describes the use of by-products from non-ferrous metals production as bound aggregate. Slag derived from the production of zinc has been used for demonstration roadways made from concrete and asphalt. Concrete containing crushed refractory bricks from aluminium smelters has also been produced and assessed. In situ performance of the roads and leaching capacity of the materials has also been evaluated.
