Abstract
The utilization of waste materials in cement-stabilized materials (CSMs) is an important way to promote the sustainable development of road engineering construction and solve the environmental problems caused by the accumulation of waste materials. With the increasingly prominent global environmental problems, the exploitation of natural aggravate and the production of cement are subject to strict management and restrictions. Different waste materials, such as industrial and mining wastes, construction and demolition wastes, municipal wastes, waste rubber and waste fiber, are utilized in CSMs, and this is beneficial to promote the sustainable development of CSMs. In order to promote the rational application of waste materials in CSMs, this paper systematically reviews the research on the durability and sustainable development of CSMs. The types and mixing forms of waste materials reutilized in CSMs are discussed. The effect of different waste materials on the durability of CSMs is objectively evaluated. The potential challenges of sustainable development of CSMs are proposed. This review may help to alleviate the apprehension of road workers about the utilization of waste materials in CSMs and provide useful suggestions for the large-scale application of different waste materials.
Highlights
With the continuous increase in the number of highway construction projects worldwide, the consumption of natural building materials and the destruction of the environment has become increasingly prominent [1,2]
As scholars have more and more in-depth understanding of the failure mechanism of cement-stabilized materials (CSMs), CSMs which only be taken strength and stiffness as control requirements gradually appear the problem of insufficient durability, which seriously affects the integral performance of highway [3,4,5]
The results showed that the damage caused by the construction machinery to CSM base during construction was far greater than the damage after reaching the design strength
Summary
With the continuous increase in the number of highway construction projects worldwide, the consumption of natural building materials and the destruction of the environment has become increasingly prominent [1,2]. In the construction of highway engineering, cement-stabilized material (CSM) is widely applied in subgrade and base because of its excellent strength and low cost. Different types of waste materials have been applied in CSMs to reduce the tremendous consumption of natural stone and cement in the construction of road infrastructure and reduce the stockpiles of waste materials. It is necessary to systematically investigate the introduction form, dosage range and effect on durability of different waste materials in CSMs, so as to promote the comprehensive utilization of waste materials in CSMs. In order to provide useful guidance for the sustainable development of highway CSMs, this review focuses on various influencing factors and improvement methods of the durability of CSMs. The impact of waste materials on the durability of CSMs has been systematically evaluated.
