Use of construction and demolition materials to improve geotechnical properties of soils

Increasing urbanization, population explosion, and improving standards of living due to technological innovations have contributed to increases in the quantity of a variety of Solid Waste Materials generated by industrial, domestic, mining, and agricultural activities. Because of the land using growth in the construction in the world, clay is mixed with different types of Solid Waste Materials from various sources.

Recent re-construction activities for the urban transformation of cities have resulted in environmental impacts.

Waste materials are left behind after large-scale transformation projects and accumulated in tremendous amounts force geo-environmental engineers to look for every opportunity to ‎make use of this bulk material in environmentally friendly manners.

Most Solid Waste Materials are produced by the Construction and Demolition Materials sectors.
