The article considers the method of stabilizing roadbed soils by introducing metallurgical waste in the structure of the composite binder. It was established during the analysis and experimental research that construction engineering properties are improved as a result of the method. The article provides the obtained results of laboratory tests. The optimum amount of ground blast furnace slag as a component to replace part of Portland cement in a soil cement mix is determined. The dependence of strength gain on the hardening time at different proportions of the composite binder is given. The efficiency of the considered method of soil hardening is estimated.

“…A high rate of growth of population and increasing per-capita income have resulted in the generation of enormous solid waste posing a serious threat to quality of soil and water. This is more serious in the case of developing countries where large quantities of solid waste are dumped haphazardly, thereby, putting pressure on scarce land [3] and water resources and at the same time affecting the geotechnical properties of soil [4].…”

The disposal of MSW (municipal solid waste), in most of Indian cities, is to dump on nearby low laying lands. This investigation aims to characterize MSW and assess compaction characteristics and strength properties of contaminated soils at dumping sites in two cities Chickballapur and Kolar of Karnataka, India. Representative solid wastes from selected wards of the city were collected and analyzed. Substantial release of leachate form the dump yards occurred during past few years and the soil at the dump site experience extensive contamination. The test results of contaminated and uncontaminated soil show increase in optimum moisture content and decrease in maximum dry density. The unconfined compressive strength decreased considerably for soil samples obtained at 0.0 m, 0.5 m and 1.0 m depths below waste dump. At depths greater than 1.5 m, compaction characteristics and unconfined compressive strength closely match with the uncontaminated soil. Little variation in pH value, which makes soil slightly alkaline, was observed. From the study, it is inferred that, this investigation is very significant, as the foundation normally at these depths may be affected by this contamination.

Fly ash represents a residue that occurs as a product of burning finely milled particles of coal in thermal power plants. The fly ash in the construction of embankments in road construction can be used with or without the addition of binders. For the construction of embankment from the ashes, aside embankments (trapezoid shape) are placed. Justification of this study is the fact that so huge amounts of this material are left aside, while there are great possibilities for using of natural materials in the construction of roads.
