In this research, the possibility of making concrete reinforced with fibers and manufactured with recycled aggregates from carbon steel production was explored. Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) was used as coarse and medium aggregate, and part of the sand sizes. Metallic and synthetic fibers were added in different amounts. Initially, the properties of EAFS and their suitability to be used in the manufacture fiber reinforced concrete were analysed. Then, a series of fiber reinforced concrete mixtures were developed incorporating EAFS, and they were compared with the reference mixtures, made with conventional components plus fibers and made with EAFS without fibers. A series of tests were performed, including concepts such as consistency, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, resistance to water penetration or toughness. The results show that it is possible to make a suitable steel-slag concrete reinforced with fibers, complying with the standard requirements for it use in pavements and slab, and improving their proprieties respect to the control mixtures.
