USER GUIDELINES FOR WASTE AND BY-PRODUCT MATERIALS IN PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION

The objective of this project was to develop a concise, easy-to-use manual containing the latest available information on the use of waste or by-product materials in pavement construction applications. The manual provides technical guidance for highway and materials engineers, waste and by-product generators, and others involved in making decisions regarding the use of waste and by-product materials in highway construction. The manual covers nineteen waste and by-product materials from the domestic, industrial, and mining sectors and six high-volume pavement construction applications. For each material, information on material origin, sources, and properties is provided. In addition, application-specific information (for specific material-application combinations) is provided, including past performance, engineering properties, processing requirements, design and construction, and unresolved issues. General guidance on environmental and cost issues, and a general outline on determining the suitability of a material in an application, are also provided. The manual is distributed in loose-leaf format for ease of use and to allow future updates and expansion.
