POTENTIAL USE OF INCINERATOR RESIDUE AS AGGREGATE FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE

An evaluation, as a potential source of aggregate, of the residue that remains after the incineration of municipal refuse is described. The results of American Society of Testing and Materials acceptance tests indicate that incinerator residue can potentially be used as subbase and base-course material and aggregate for asphaltic concrete, portland cement concrete, and masonry units. Concrete strengths of approximately 27.6 MPa (4000 lbf/ sq in.) are possible. Medium-weight concrete blocks that meet ASTM C90 specifications have been manufactured. Alkali-aggregate reactions cause expansion, but it appears that this problem can be controlled. (Author)
