Main Article Content
Abstract
Inthe world of advance technology waste materials (fly ash &plastic waste) are widely used for construction purposes. Waste material is a very simple but powerful concept. The waste material produced by different industries is being recycled and reuse for the road construction with great interest in many industrialized and developing countries.
