The report contains background information on the composition and characteristics of basic types of incinerator residues. A recommended classification system is presented. The use of incinerator residues in structural fill, stabilized base, and bituminous paving applications is discussed. Included are specific recommendations for materials handling and preparation, laboratory testing procedures, engineering properties, and design and construction procedures for these applications. The manual also includes recommended laboratory test procedures for determining the loss on ignition and physical composition of incinerator residue samples. A separate section is devoted to a summary of situations which are favorable, as well as unfavorable, to the utilization of municipal incinerator residue in highway or street construction.
