Detroit	Demonstration Project	Cool Pavements	Detroit Metro Airport Terminal Expansion	Slag Cement Detroit Airport Expansion - The Detroit Metro Airport used 720,000 square feet (67,000 m²) of slag cement in an airport terminal expansion project. In this region, the local aggregate is susceptible to alkali-silica reaction, whereas slag resists that form of corrosion better than plain cement and is easier to place in hot weather. This approach increased the life expectancy of the paved surfaces, as well as allowed for the use of a high-albedo product.	Completed
