THE UTILIZATION OF CEMENT-STABILIZED WASTE MATERIALS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
IT IS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO MAKE USE OF LOW-GRADE AND WASTE MATERIALS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION AS THIS CONSERVES THE SUPPLIES OF GOOD QUALITY ROAD MAKING MATERIALS AND ASSISTS IN PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED MATERIALS. IN ADDITION ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS MAKE IT LIKELY THAT THE COST OF AGGREGATES WILL INCREASE IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THEY ARE ALREADY IN SHORT SUPPLY WHEREAS LOW-GRADE AND WASTE MATERIALS ARE BY THEIR VERY NATURE AVAILABLE AT LOW COST. THIS PAPER THEREFORE CONSIDERS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY CAN USE LOW-GRADE AND WASTE MATERIALS FOR BASE AND SUB-BASE CONSTRUCTION. THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE USE OF SUCH MATERIALS ON PRACTICAL, ECONOMIC AND AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. FOUR GROUPS OF MATERIALS- CHALK, PULVERISED FUEL ASH, COLLIERY SHALE, AND QUARRY WASTES- ARE DEALT WITH IN DETAIL. THEY ALL OCCUR IN LARGE QUANTITIES AND WHEN STABILISED WITH CEMENT THEY CAN ALL BE MADE SUITABLE FOR USE IN ROAD PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION. /RRL/AUTHOR/
