The present investigation is conducted to evaluate the effect of steel slag coarse aggregates on mechanical properties and fatigue behaviour of Alkali-Activated Slag Fly Ash Concrete (AASFC) mixes. AASFC mixes were prepared with steel slag coarse aggregates by replacing natural coarse aggregates at various replacement levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% by volume). Various mechanical properties and fatigue performance were tested and compared with conventional Portland concrete. The incorporation of steel slag aggregates resulted in decrease in mechanical strength of AASFC mixes. The fatigue lives of AASFC mixes containing steel slag were found to be lower than AASFC with natural coarse aggregates. Two-parameter Weibull distribution was used for statistical analysis of fatigue data and it was observed that the fatigue data of concrete mixes can be approximately modelled using Weibull distribution. Steel slag aggregates reported acceptable performance in AASFC mixes for its use in pavement quality concrete.
