Abstract

Coal mining accompanied by the formation of large amounts of waste. These wastes are a potential source of material for road construction. Because of their properties, they can be treated as soils or aggregates. Coal wastes are used in road construction in particular for the construction of embankments. However, the balance of the use of such materials is negative, landfill wastes, not decrease. Stockpiled material is a source of environmental pollution and takes up valuable land that could be used for cultivation or investments. To meet these challenges arise various research projects aimed at international exchange technical and scientific experiments. INCRIS project is an example of this, and the main objective is to strengthen cooperation DNDI as coordinator and institutions involved in the project.
