THE USE OF WASTE AND LOW-GRADE MATERIALS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION: 2 COLLIERY SHALE
The use of lower-grade and waste materials as alternatives to naturally occurring aggregates in the construction of roads helps to conserve the supplies of good quality aggregates and assists in problems arising from the disposal of unwanted materials. This report is one of a series that is aimed at bringing together the information that is available on each of the major waste products that have roadmaking potential. It deals with colliery shale and it considers the extent to which shale can be used in road construction. The report discusses the types and quantity of shale that are available, the purposes to which it can be put in the various stages of road construction and the tests needed to ensure that shales meet the required specifications.
