USE OF ASHES FROM POWER PLANTS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

CERCETARI PRIVIND FOLOSIREA CENUSEI DE TERMOCENTRALA LA LUCRATILE RUTIERE

The authors review the main uses of ashes from power plants in road construction and studies of: embankments (compaction and stability as regards particle size distribution, surface tension of ashes); drainage layers (filtration, particle size distribution of ashes); mechanical stabilization (mixture with granular materials, compactibility); chemical soil stabilization (pure sand or sand/gravel mixtures stabilized with ashes and cement, lime, pure or mixed granulated slag, pozzolanic effect); use of cinders to prevent skidding on black ice. Temporary specifications have been drawn up for various fields of application. /TRRL/
