Abstract
Environmental restrictions imposed on mining natural aggregates, for use in construction activities, necessitated the use of industrial byproducts as a substitute. In the present study, the Waste Recycled Product (WRP) slag has been characterized primarily for its usage in different geotechnical engineering applications such as embankment construction, reinforced earth construction, and filling of low-lying areas. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and angle of shearing resistance (φ’) of WRP slag compacted under varying relative compactions (RC) have been determined. Correlations have been developed between California Bearing Ratio (CBR), angle of shearing resistance (φ’), and relative compactions (RC). It was concluded that WRP slag being a cohesionless material, with low compressibility, high CBR value, high φ’, is amenable to utilization in various geotechnical applications such as embankment and road construction. Stability analysis of Dykes constructed using WRP slag has been carried out using limit equilibrium method using GEO5 software to demonstrate the efficacy of the obtained properties and similarly, a pavement composition has been designed using IRC 37–2018 and its analysis has been carried out using linear elastic layered theory using IITPAVE software.
