Abstract

Sustainable construction has been gaining importance due to the effects of climate change we experience globally. The effects are pronounced day by day. The construction sector is growing globally in a paced manner, particularly in developing countries. The construction sector is the largest consumer of energy, particularly fossil fuels. The prime among the construction sector is pavement construction, providing connectivity to places. Hence it is paramount to practice sustainable principles in road construction. This paper investigates the use of alternate sustainable construction materials in road construction.
