Abstract

Abstract: Road transportation plays a crucial role in India's economic development, providing cost-effective, accessible, and adaptable means of transportation for both passengers and freight. Pavement, as a key component of highway design, must withstand vehicular loads and foot traffic while ensuring safe and efficient movement. This paper reviews existing literature on pavement materials, focusing on sustainable alternatives such as fly ash-based geopolymers, basalt fiber-reinforced concrete, and asphalt mixtures incorporating recycled aggregates and rubber. Additionally, it proposes the combination of rice husk and crumb rubber in concrete as a sustainable approach for pavement construction. The study aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete with partial material replacements through experimental investigation. By addressing gaps in durability studies, comparative analysis, and non-destructive testing, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the feasibility and sustainability of utilizing waste materials in concrete production. Ultimately, it aims to contribute to advancing sustainable practices in the construction industry and addressing the challenge of waste accumulation.
