Abstract
Abstract Over 4.1 billion tons of non-hazardous solid wastes are generated in the United States annually. This equals to about 16 tons of wastes per person, per year. Disposal of the wastes is a national concern due to many factors such as environmental issues, costs, and public views. South Carolina, like many other states, had a home of many military bases which were ordered to be closed. The contaminated soil was vitrified and tested for suitability in the asphalt mixes. For mix design purposes, a total of 75 specimens were made and tested. For moisture susceptibility testing, a total of 32 samples were made and tested. The results indicate that the mixtures made with sample B produced dry and wet that were comparable with the controlled mixture. At this point and with in this limited study, use of 5% of sample B in asphalt mixture is recommended in several applications such as parking lots, walking paths and drive ways.
