A Brief Study on Recycled Materials in Highway Construction

Gautam Kakkar, Amit Yadav, Ankit Sethi

Abstract


This study is targeted at teaching the engineering public and professionals on the importance and necessity of waste management, reuse and recycling and also awareness on the bright side of saving our environment through the reuse and utilization of waste within it. The study has identified the different types of waste with potential of utilizing them towards construction and several research factors and criteria which can provide focus and way towards the choice of waste- type to be used and ensuring that they have potential to be utilized in the construction industries.
