Abstract

With the steep increase in the population, construction and demolition of buildings around the world have increased at the same pace which has led to the accumulation of C&D waste. Their disposal is one the major problems as the huge amount of land is required for landfill. In this research possible use of C&D wastes in semi-dense bitumen, macadam has been studied, so these C&D waste can be disposed of properly furthermore the natural aggregate which is depleting at very fast rate can be saved for the future generation. In this study test are conducted to check the feasibility of C&D waste in the asphalt pavement .various tests such a marshal stability test, tensile strength test is conducted to determine the optimum percentage of construction and demolition waste which can be used in semi-dense bitumen macadam. It also helps in saving the material for future. That can be used for bigger construction. The demolition waste with the different percentages as a coarse aggregate has been used in this research and the results have been compared with the conventional mixes. Over 90% of demolition wastes can be filled with the land fillings and due to its toxic nature it will affect the soil and make it useless. Marshal stability and indirect tensile strength tests have been performed which resulted in the increase in the durability and strength of payments.
