Roads of the Future: Mining Waste as a Sustainable Pavement Resource explores the innovative and sustainable use of mining waste materials in road construction. As the global infrastructure sector seeks greener alternatives, this book presents mining by-products such as lithium slag, tailings, slag, fly ash, and quarry dust as viable resources for pavement engineering. Through comprehensive research, case studies, and technical evaluations, it highlights the environmental, economic, and engineering benefits of reusing these materials.The book not only addresses the technical feasibility of incorporating mining waste in various pavement layers but also discusses environmental risks, regulatory considerations, and practical implementation challenges. It advocates for the development of standards, policies, and large-scale demonstration projects to support wider adoption.Ultimately, this book redefines mining waste not as a liability, but as a valuable resource for building resilient, sustainable roads-contributing to a circular economy and a more environmentally responsible future.
