Abstract

India is the 2nd largest road networks among the globe with 5.9 millions of kilometers and these all are laid with natural aggregates, fine aggregates and bitumen and the bitumen which suits to the temperature and weather conditions. There are many materials which we can use them as filler material on behalf of stone dust materials like plastic waste, ceramic waste, palm oil ash, crumb rubber. I choose ceramic powder which we can get more waste material from the tiles companies they will use only 30% of the material in 100% the remaining 70% is getting dumped on the surface or into the ground this can pollute the soil and water the chemicals can become harmful instead of dumping the waste we can use that waste as our filler material for partial replacement in laying of flexible pavement. This is economically low and we can reduce the dumping problems.
