Abstract

This paper summarizes 10-year research on sustainable road construction by using recycled materials such as construction and demolition (C&D) materials; waste by-products, which are fly ash, steel slag, and calcium carbide residue; synthetic and natural fiber-reinforcement; and synthetic and natural polymers in various pavement applications. Advanced techniques were used to analyze the mechanical properties and suitability of these materials as replacements for virgin aggregates. The research identifies optimal material compositions, demonstrating improved pavement performance and environmental and economic benefits. Findings highlight the potential of using recycled materials like bottom ash and natural fibers, advocating for sustainable and cost-effective road construction practices. The research contributes to the development of durable and environmentally friendly road infrastructure, with implications for future urban and high-traffic applications.
