dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the results of laboratory research of physical and
mechanical properties of fly ash and mixtures of fly ash and slag from landfills of
thermal power plants “Nikola Tesla” and “Kostolac” in terms of their use for
road embankments construction. Following mechanical material properties were
tested: unified compressive strength (UCS), shear strength, deformability, CBR,
and resistance to frost. Results of the study have shown that waste materials
from Serbian thermal power plants can be successfully used as the building and
reconstruction material for road subgrade. This can bring multiple economic
benefits, such as: saving of natural materials, lower energy consumption, lower
pollution of environment, and less waste landfill areas. | sr |
