Influence of Ceramic Waste and Cement on the Properties of the Road Sub-Base Layer

Description

The book “Influence of Ceramic Waste and Cement on the Properties of the Road Sub-base Layer” provides an overview of the use of recycled materials as sustainable alternatives in civil engineering applications. It highlights the environmental, economic, and engineering benefits of using recycled products, such as ceramic waste. Algeria and countries worldwide face significant challenges in their road infrastructure despite having one of the largest road networks in Africa. Common issues include poor construction quality due to limited quality control and lack of durable materials, premature deterioration caused by climate conditions, overloading of trucks, insufficient maintenance, limited use of innovative materials, with most roads built using conventional asphalt and gravel and environmental impact from the high demand for natural aggregates and bitumen.

This book offers an overview of stabilized soil by ceramic waste and cement, which shows the improvement on the engineering properties of the road sub-base layer, such as mechanical, physical and hydraulic properties.
