USING WASTE PRODUCTS OF HEAT-AND-POWER ENGINEERING IN ROAD BUILDING
A substantial amount of waste products of heat-and-power engineering has been accumulated in Russian Federation up to the present time. The waste products include ash and other waste materials. Their utilization is of particular significance in road building because this sector demonstrates a high consumption rate of thermal engineering waste. Physical and mechanical properties of the materials in question are different from the natural properties of the soil, and they are determined by a variety of factors. Civil engineers tend not to apply any waste products of heat-and-power engineering in soil building. The reason for that is that the properties of these materials have not been examined thoroughly enough. The findings of the examination of the properties of ash and waste products performed using the method of intensive dynamic compacting satisfy the set of requirements developed by the road building authorities with reference to the characteristics of the road embankment.
