Use of glass cullet in roadway construction. Phase 1. Literature review and identification of sources and suppliers. Research report, December 1994-March 1995

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:187117
The purpose of the study is to develop specifications for using glass cullet in roadway construction. Glass cullet results from collecting and crushing post consumer glass containers. Using glass cullet in roadway construction avoids expensive sorting to prevent color contamination and presents an opportunity to use glass cullet as a construction aggregate and reduce landfill requirements. A number of other states and organizations have investigated the use of glass cullet in various aspects of construction. Specifications for using glass cullet for roadway construction in the state of Texas are being developed in three phases: (1) Literature review and identification of available sources and suppliers; (2) Laboratory testing; and (3) Specification development. This report covers Phase 1, literature review and identificaton of available sources and suppliers.
