This book provides an overview of the use of various waste materials in pavement construction and their potential impact on sustainable infrastructure development. It explores the use of waste materials as alternatives to traditional pavement materials like asphalt and concrete. It discusses the properties and performance of various waste materials and their applications in pavement construction, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower construction costs, and enhanced durability and longevity of pavements.Features:Explores the use of waste materials such as recycled plastics, rubber, glass, and other industrial by-products as alternatives to traditional pavement materials.Provides detailed guidance on the selection, design, and implementation of waste materials.Focuses on the practical application of waste materials in pavement construction.Reviews bio-oils and focuses on plastics from different sources.Includes case studies on waste materials used in pavement structure.This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in pavement and civil engineering.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of how the innovative use of waste materials not only addresses environmental challenges but also provides sustainable, cost-effective solutions for construction, making it an essential resource for professionals in the field. Waste pollutes ground resources and sub-surface water if disposed of without proper treatment, which requires large areas. This waste can be utilized as a sustainable alternative to conventional construction materials. Environmental scientists and geotechnical engineers are increasingly challenged to solve environmental problems related to waste disposal facilities and the cleanup of contaminated sites. This book explores how various types of waste materials can be effectively used in geotechnical construction projects related to soil and foundation. The volume covers properties of different waste materials, methods for testing and characterizing them, potential environmental impacts of using waste materials in geotechnical projects, and the design considerations and techniques for incorporating those waste materials into geotechnical structures. The economic and regulatory aspects of waste utilization in geotechnical practice, including the potential cost savings and the protocols governing the use of waste materials in construction projects, are discussed. The book serves as an informative and practical guide to land-based waste disposal and its potential applications in soil improvement. Audience Researchers, civil engineers, students and policymakers working in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, environmental science, and waste management.
