USE OF MINERAL WASTE AS MATERIAL FOR HIGHWAYS

THE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF USING EITHER TREATED OR UNTREATED MINERAL WASTES AS AGGREGATE WILL BE INVESTIGATED. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO MINE TAILINGS, AS BASE OR FILL MATERIAL AND IN SURFACE COURSES WHEN TREATED WITH LIME AND COMPACTED IN THE PRESENCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO PRODUCE CARBONATE BONDING. RUBBLE FROM DEMOLITION ACTIVITY IS AN ACCEPTABLE MATERIAL, BUT WILL REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES THAT MEET AIR AND NOISE POLLUTION STANDARDS.
