Alternative materials in road construction

Objective

The main objective is to define methods by which the suitability of alternative materials for use in road construction can be evaluated.

Within this ultimate objective, there are a number of particular objectives:

(1) develop methods for simulated field tests;

(2) determine mechanisms and rates of release of contaminants from alternative materials in road construction;

(3) establish standard laboratory leaching tests for alternative materials;

(4) determine appropriate mechanical and hydrodynamic tests for alternative materials;

(5) prepare a specification for full scale trial embankments;

(6) compare potential pollution with that from other sources; and

(7) consider mitigation measures where possible.
