Abstract
Present days’ Industrial waste material disposal is a major problem. These materials effect to environmental pollution in the nearby areas because many of them are non-biodegradable. India has a more number of industries located in different places of the country and many more are planned for the near future. Every year several million metric tons industrial wastes are produced in these establishments. In developing countries like India Transportation is most important requirement for economic and social development. The use of these materials in road making is based on technical, economic, and ecological criteria. The pollution and disposal problems may be partly reduced. Road construction is an activity in which natural resources are utilized the most in comparison with other branches of civil engineering. Large quantities of natural materials, gravel, clay, rocks and sand are built into kilometers of newly-built roads or in reconstruction of decrepit roads. At the same time, the sustainable development concept requires a more efficient management of waste materials and preservation of environment. This paper clearly describes various industrial waste materials are being used in the construction of highway. The waste materials are Pond ash and slag. Which are satisfying MORTH-5th Rev. specifications requirements. Usage of these waste materials in highway works not only saves the construction cost but also preserves the Environment from Air Pollution, Water pollution and Minimize the land utilization for the disposal of these materials. This observation has been made from sambalpur-Rourkela road project, (Odisha) SH-10. So, all these internal parameters have been adopted in this project which is required to long term durability considering cost & safe environment. Slag obtained from Radharaman, Bajarangibali unit-1, Odisha. Pond ash samples from Suresh product & Agrasen sponge, Odisha. The samples collected from the site are tested under third party NABL laboratory and routine testing carried out in house laboratory. Characterize the geotechnical properties of both Slag & Pond ash individually. Tests are conducted to obtain optimum moisture content (OMC), Maximum dry density (MDD) using modified proctor`s density test, Grain size distribution, Specific gravity ,direct shear test ,Field dry density test and CBR for finding out the suitability of subgrade material considering requirement of the IRC 37(2012) FOR EFFECTIVE CBR value as per MORTH 5th Revision Specifications and IS codes.
