This is an overview of the use of waste materials in highway
construction. It presents a summary of practices in the use of
waste materials in highway construction and the experiences of the
US in the technical, environmental, and economic aspects of the
various applications of the waste materials. The information
presented was obtained from a review of published literature,
presentations of research by professionals at different forums,
personal meetings with experts, and a questionnaire regarding the
use of waste materials to each state highway agency.Public concern
is constantly expressed about the vast quantities of useful
materials being discarded or destroyed. Legislation to stimulate
recycling efforts is in force in a number of states, and is being
debated in others. One avenue of approach toward waste reduction is
presented here.The book describes the state-of-the-practice in the
use of waste materials in highway construction in the US and
describes the applications of selected waste materials including:
waste tires, waste glass, reclaimed paving materials, slags and
ashes, building rubble, sewage sludge, and incinerator residue. An
evaluation based on technical, environmental, and economic factors
indicated that reclaimed paving materials, coal fly ash, blast
furnace slag, bottom ash, boiler slag, steel slag, and rubber tires
have significant potential to replace conventional materials for
various applications in highway construction. Specific applications
of the waste products and potential problems associated with their
usage in highway operations, which must be addressed prior to their
extensive use, are also included.
