Study of the Use of Industrial Waste in Highway Construction Industry

In this book, a brief introduction to the industrial sludge, waste and by- products specifically Fly Ash and Hypo Sludge as Raw Materials in Highway Construction Industry. This experimental and analytical research work is an effort to try to develop the awareness and importance of industrial waste - material management and its utilization in a productive manner among the construction professionals. In today's environmentally-conscious world, a more responsible approach to the environment is to increase the use of by-products of one industry which is disposed off as waste which can be used as raw material for some other industry. Lack of awareness, Consumer preferences, competitive marketing strategies and a lot of miss-understanding among the users have impeded their utilization in our country. CC pavement is designed for a Rural Road as 500 cvpd and two- lane two-way National Highway as 500 to 3000 cvpd at the end of the construction period. Hence an experimental research study has been conducted for comparing and studying the effect of replacing ordinary portland cement with industrial waste for Highway Construction Industry.
