Study on the utilization of granulated copper slag as an aggregate in bituminous base by adopting three dimensional non linear optimization technique

Abstract

Road connectivity is an important element for economic newlinedevelopment of any nation Construction of road is cost intensive Of this newlinestone aggregate a major component consumes about 60 of the material newlinecost Hence it is most important to economize in construction with proper newlineselection of materials optimum input of technology and adoption of newlineappropriate design methodology by conducting extensive research newlineConsidering the vast impact on economy and environment demand and newlinesupply the availability of waste materials has to be explored for use as newlinealternative material newlineIn this study the Granulated Copper Slag GCS a waste from newlinecopper industry has been studied as an alternative material by identifying its newlineenvironmental and technical characteristics newline newline
