This chapter provides an in-depth but brief overview on the possible use of various waste materials for sustainable pavement construction. It compiles a literature review on the research done on such materials and highlights the current issues. IntroductionPavement construction involves consumption of large quantity of construction materials. Some of these construction materials are available in natural form and some are manufactured (from naturally occurring raw materials). Due to the rapid growth of infrastructure, naturally available good quality construction materials are gradually becoming scarce. Consequently, there is an increase in the transportation cost for acquiring good quality materials. Thus, there is a need to develop or search for alternative materials for road construction.On the other hand, large quantity of byproducts are generated from agricultural, construction and demolition, industrial and domestic sources (Aravind and Das

“…Geotechnical design and optimization of road constructions have been studied by many researchers from different perspectives (Eldin, 2002, Santoni et al, 2001, Younussa et al, 2008, Sadek et al, 2000& Canoglu et al, 2017. In general, these studies consisted of the geotechnical design of a road involve complex processes including empirical engineering estimates.…”

Transport in Northern Iraq become an important issue in terms of trading due to its geographical position. Road construction between Darbandikhan and Kalar villages in the northern part of Iraq is crucial for the connection of Erbil and Suleymaniye to northeast. The planned road construction requires a detailed environmental and geotechnical study in order to determine geo-engineering parameters of ground conditions. For this purpose this study is carried out to highlight the engineering geological and geotechnical features considering the groundwater conditions of the Darbandikhan - Kalar Road route section. In this context, field and laboratory works were performed along the projected route. Within the scope of field studies, an engineering geology map was generated, a suitable routing was specified and drilling and in-situ testing was completed. Seven boreholes and total 196,5 m geotechnical purposed drilling works performed along the planned route section. The core samples obtained from drilling works are utilized for laboratory testing. As a result of this study information about the bearing capacity, slope stability and basic soil parameters were determined and no problems were encountered.

“…There are already in the literature several suggestions on how industrial waste could be utilized, e.g. as a filler or as additives in concrete, incorporated in ceramic materials or roads and pavements [1][2]. One possibility to recycle industrial waste though, is the production of glass-ceramic materials by thermal treatment [3].…”
