Geotechnical Reuse of Waste Materials

In order to reuse industrial and demolition waste for construction applications like roads, railways and embankments, proper characterization before their disposal is important. Also, the construction and demolition wastes and the industrial by-products generated like phosphogypsum, quarry dust, fly ash, coal ash and plastic, etc. along with their illegal deposition are unceasingly posing serious environmental concerns. At the same time, the concept of sustainability has been gaining momentum in recent years. Thus, the main focus of this research was addressing the feasibility of using such waste materials in pavement applications and embankment constructions.
