Design Guidance and Best Practices for the Use of Light Fill

Status:  Active
Project Start Date:  No Date

Summary:

Solid waste products have been successfully used in road construction as light weight fill (LWF), diverting them from ending up in landfills and recycling the waste material for beneficial use. There have been several past and ongoing studies. One specific product, Tire Derived Aggregates (TDAs), has been the target of the study, "Updating MnDOT Guidance for Using Shredded Tires in Roadway Construction." This research will update and expand upon the work conducted in this study. The focus of this project will be to review and synthesize all past and existing research, identify success stories and best practices of using LWF.
