Introduction. Growing volumes of road construction increase the need for expanding and rationally using the raw materials. In the pavement design, layers of the base have the biggest thickness. Therefore, their arrangement is associated with high consumption of building materials. At the same time, the base layers work in more favorable conditions compared to pavement, which allows the widespread using the local materials and industrial waste for their construction. A feature of road construction is the consumption of significant amounts of mineral resources, mainly products of the lithosphere: monolithic and debris rocks, sand, granite, gravel. These materials are non-renewable natural resources. The lack of such materials in the construction area makes it necessary to transport them on long distances, which increases the cost of construction and leads to significant energy costs, especially — fuels and lubricants.
An alternative solution of this problem is the use of local materials and industrial waste.
Problem Statement. In the conditions of development of the diversified industry of Ukraine, and especially extraction of minerals, the environment suffers considerable technogenic loadings. Over the last two centuries, a huge amount of industrial waste has been accumulated, occupying hectares of fertile land and negatively affecting the environment.
Also today the issue of using exhaustible natural resources is acute. The use of industrial waste as a secondary raw material can reduce the consumption of natural building materials and becomes increasingly relevant.
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyze the world and domestic experience of using the industrial waste in road construction.
Materials and methods. Analysis of informational sources on the experience of using the industrial waste in road construction abroad and study the possibility to use industrial waste in domestic road construction.
Results. Based on the results of the analysis, the feasibility of using the industrial waste as a secondary raw material for its application in road construction was determined and described.
Conclusions. The main ways of application of industrial waste in road construction are offered. Prospects for the use of industrial waste in road construction are indicated.
