Earthworks -- Alternative materials in earthworks
This document informs about the experience of European member state practices for successfully using alternative materials in earthworks. It covers all earthworks, whether for roads, railways, and other infrastructure, including fills, capping layers, transition zones, drainage ribs or others (for details, see EN 16907-1:2018, Clause 1 'Scope').
Alternative materials have properties, on a geotechnical standpoint, which makes them different from the materials (soils and rocks) being normally used in earthworks.
Therefore, the objective of this document is:
This document does not deal with alternative materials used as aggregate.
This document does not deal with alternative materials used as binders (fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag or others) or binder components.
