This research is a final review on the characterization, applications and performance of steel slags in cement-based composites. Steel slags are by-products generated in large volumes in the steel industry, and as an aggregate it has good morphological and mechanical properties. Promising mechanical performances and new findings on durability of cement-based composites encourage further research to promote the use of steel slags.
