Challenges of Use and Disposal of Industrial Waste Spent Oil Shale in Highway Constructions

Presently, all over the worlds industrial growth is increasing day by day, which is requirement of developed society. Industries are necessary need of humans to full fill their basic needs. Increasing of industry has many good aspects but carry some drawback also, which is most noticed that’ industrial waste disposal’. Industrial waste is residue of many industrial products. There are many industrial waste are coal fly ash, municipal solid waste ash, waste glass, scrap tires, spent oil shale, steel slag, marble dust etc. This paper will discuss about spent oil shale only. This paper is an approach for the utilization of spent oil shale in highway construction and what are the effects on pavement behavior and physical properties due to spent oil shale is analyzed. It was observed that spent oil shale changes strength, stability of the pavements. Another main object of this paper is to study the environmental impact assessment also.
