Waste glass as additive to clayey material in subgrade and embankment of road pavement

Abstract

In this paper the possibility of using waste glass in road construction is discussed. Samples of clay material with the addition of waste glass were subjected to a series of laboratory geotechnical tests performed at the Laboratory of Geotechnics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Niš. The obtained results were compared with criteria defined in the document “General technical requirements for road construction”. On this basis, the conclusions on the suitability of this mixture for the intended purpose are given. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR-36016 i br. TR-36028]
