USE OF WASTE MATERIAL IN RIGID PAVEMENT

The study aim to enhance the strength of rigid pavement by using sugarcane bagasse ash and of ground granulated blast furnace Slag in cement. Various studies have been conducted across the world which identified the adverse effects of different waste materials in concrete. Consequently, different waste materials were found to be appropriate ranging from 5% to 30% for the highway construction purposes. But, still there is a need to replace the cement partially by introducing another material by considering the chemical composition of cement without changing their binding properties. In the present study, an attempt has been made to aware the researchers and engineers to manufacture inexperienced concrete in order to attain the balance between environment, economical and technical aspects by highlighting different methods of utilizing the discarded materials (i.e. waste).
