Use Of Eaf Steel Slag As Aggregate For Concrete Production: Environmental And Technical Assessment

Alessandra Diotti,
Università di Brescia

Presenting Authors: Alessandra Diotti
Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Land, Environment and Mathematics, University of Brescia, Via Branze 43, 25123 Brescia, Italy

Alessandra Diotti is an Architectural Engineer and PhD Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Brescia. The main topic of her research work and PhD is the valorisation of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in the construction sector. In particular, the environmental and technical characterization of CDW and recycled aggregates for concrete producion, road construction and geotechnical works are addressed. She also currently works on other types of “construction” waste (e.g. EAF steel slags or returned concrete) and more in general with circular economy in the building sector.

RE-CAFFÈ: Circular coffee service for vending machines and bars

Juliana Campos-Maya Ivanova, POLIMI

Maya Ivanova is a product and service designer, currently in her Master course of Product Service System Design in Politecnico di Milano. She has previously acquired a B.Sc in Engineering design with a profile on furniture and interior design. The big gap between the majors served as an inspiration for her to pursue a path that would lead to more opportunities to tackle problems regarding sustainability. Additional working experience and competition participation lead to her additional education in the field of circular design and cradle-to-cradle strategies.

Juliana Campos is a product and experience designer. She holds a B.Sc in Product Design from São Paulo at Mackenzie University. Currently studying Product Service System Design in Politecnico di Milano. She has worked for 6 years with product design for children. Enthusiastic about the theme of sustainability, she acted in the realization of many workshops in the area of environmental education with children in Brazil.

WASTEVILLE: An interactive gaming experience for waste management learning

Barbara Vigano’-Valentina Demarchi, POLIMI

Barbara Viganò is a Product Service System Design student at the Design faculty of Politecnico di Milano. She graduated last year in Bsc in Product Design with 110 cum laude at Politecnico di Milano. In her academic path, she has participated to many activities such as a serie of workshops called Challenge Programme around Europe with the Idea League focused on topics between technology and society. Passionated about Circular Economy and behavioural change, she is exploring how Service Design can be applied to them.

Valentina Demarchi is a MSc student in Product-Service-System Design at Politecnico di Milano, where she received a Bachelors in Industrial Product Design in July 2018. As Erasmus student at Brunel University London, she carried out projects with real companies, two of which got awarded as Best Luminaire 2016 and as Best Lawn&Garden Project 2017, by the Lighting Education Trust and Bosch UK respectively. The former project was further developed during a three-months internship at MikeStoane Lighting, Edinburgh, following which a first prototype was showcased at the Light+Building Fair of Frankfurt in March 2018.
Ms. Demarchi is also part of Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP) XV Cycle, a double-degree program offering horizontal-skills developent and and multidisciplinary-projects to 150 selected students from both Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino. Within ASP, she is among the 30 selected students which will also attend the SEI Pioneer Program, a 12-month course in Innovation and Entrepreneurship founded by Fondazione Agnelli.
