The disposal of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products has become a major concern as issues of emission cleansing and landfill costs continue to rise. Laboratory tests conducted in the Department of Civil Engineering at The Ohio State University have shown that the dry FGD by-products possess certain engineering properties which have been proven desirable in a considerable number of construction uses. As a follow on to the laboratory program, a field investigation into possible engineering uses of dry FGD wastes was initiated. In the work presented in this paper, FGD by-products were used to reconstruct the failed portion of a highway embankment. The paper presents the procedures used in the process and examines the stability of the repaired highway embankment.
