Pavement Stabilization Using Iron Ore Waste

Abstract

Pavement stabilization using iron ore waste  is a technique for improving the strength and durability of  road surfaces. The process involves mixing iron ore tailings,  a waste byproduct of iron ore extraction, with traditional  pavement materials such as asphalt or concrete. This creates  a composite material that is stronger and more resistant to  wear and tear compared to traditional pavements. The process  of using iron ore waste in pavement stabilization has several  benefits. Firstly, it helps to reduce the amount of waste that is generated from the mining industry, by repurposing it for  road construction. Secondly, the use of iron ore tailings  improves the overall quality of the road surface, making it  more durable and long-lasting. This leads to a reduction in  maintenance costs and an improvement in road safety.  Finally, the use of iron ore waste in pavement stabilization  can help to reduce the carbon footprint of road construction,  as it reduces the need for virgin materials and reduces the  amount of waste sent to landfill sites. Overall, pavement  stabilization using iron ore waste is an effective and  sustainable solution for road construction, offering a range of  benefits to both the environment and road users.
