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.
