Abstract
India is currently undergoing through a large number of road infrastructure development projects. Due to this initiative, fresh attention has been drawn to the issues related to latest road technology. This paper presents some emerging road materials and innovative application concepts, which appear to be promising for future developments. As the title of this article suggests, the discussion has been divided into two major parts. The first part discusses about the new and emerging materials in road construction technology and the second part discusses about the recent application concepts of various road materials. The paper is based on the comprehensive review of available literature on the construction materials including different kinds of solid wastes. The traditional methods for producing construction materials are using the valuable natural resources. Besides, the industrial and urban management systems are generating solid wastes, and most often dumping them in open fields.
