Abstract

The goal of this review study is to define the use of ceramic wastes as a raw material in soil structures and the construction of road pavement subgrades. The global output of ceramic waste powder (CWP) produced during the final polishing phase of ceramic tiles exceeds 22 billion tones. The application of (CWP) in landfill sites could create major environmental issues for soil, water and climate. It has been calculated that about 30% of the daily growth in the ceramic industry goes to waste. By trying to reduce this material, we can provide a big benefit of minimizing the use of natural products, decreasing the amount of money used and enhancing land conditions, based on the quantities we can use. Such wastes cannot be processed in any manner and thus create issues with the disposal and loss to the industry. Ceramic waste is strong, durable and resistant to all kind of declining powers, and these properties allow it to be substitute for replacements. Using various quantities of ceramic waste, we will obtain different results and characteristics of soil structures in different California bearing ratios, dry unit weight, unconfined soil density and optimum water content.
