Use of Power Plants Ash in Airport Pavements Structures

Aproveitamento Das Cinzas Provenientes De Termoelétricas Em Estruturas De Pavimentos Aeroportuários

The utilization of industrial waste, as well as other materials, in the production of new materials with cementing properties, is an option to control environmental pollution. The fly ash from coal-burning power plants discharged in open air has been the cause of environmental pollution, contaminating air, water and soil. This industrial waste has been used in the United States of America (USA) on airport pavements. The most successful example was the construction of the runway of the Newark Airport. The objective of this paper is to show that, from laboratorial research, fly ash from coal-burning power plants in Southern Brazil can be used in airport pavements.
