Abstract:
In the ever developing today 's society. construction industry plays a vital role. The waste generated by this
industry is becoming a growing menace to the society as well as to the natural environment. Even though
sustainable and environmentally friendly designs are the current trends, a sustainable and environmentally
friendly solution for the waste generated by the construction industry is still being not looked upon. Intension
of this study is to find a solution f or the waste generated by the construction and demolition industry in the
form of a fill material for gabions live waste materials were selected for the study and they were tested for
their durability and compressive strength. These results are compared with the values obtained for rubble
which is the standard gabion fill material. In addition, the environmental economical and social feasibility of
constructing gabions with waste materials are also considered, so that a proper solution could he obtained for constructing gabions with waste materials are also considered, so that a proper solution could be obtained for construction and demolition waste
