Fly ashes and slags are by-products of the energy and steel industry, respectively. They are produced in large quantities and their disposal creates many environmental problems. In the frame of a project by the Greek Secretariat of Research and Technology, the two by-products were used for concrete production. Therefore, a concrete incorporating high volume of local calcareous fly ash and steel slags as aggregates has been manufactured and tested in the laboratory. The characteristics of the two by-products used, as well as the mechanical, elastic and physicochemical properties of this concrete are given in this paper in comparison with conventional concrete. It seems that a concrete with special characteristics, which is particularly suitable for many applications in construction, can be produced with only 5% by mass Portland cement.
