The potential of cement kiln dust (CKD) and lime (quicklime) for stabilizing low-volume unpaved roads on sites dominated by cohesive soils was investigated. CKD, lime plus CKD, lime, and portland cement were tested at different mixtures and soil moisture contents in a clayey silt to determine the resulting unconfined compressive strength after three curing periods. In a field study, road sections were stabilized with CKD and with lime plus CKD, and then a gravel running surface was added. Soil penetration resistance increased after the treatment. Field results confirmed the laboratory results and helped identify the most effective treatment. Stabilization proved cost-effective for new roads in areas where gravel is difficult to obtain.

This paper aims to investigate the influence of utilization micro cement kiln dust as a sustainable materials additive in order to reduce the voids and micro cracks in the cementitious mortar materials which cause a drastic reduction in the load carrying capacity of the element. Its therefore very important to decrease the pores and enhance the mechanical strength of the cementitious composite materials. In this article, the properties of self-compacting mortar containing micro cement dust additive was experimentally assessed. Micro cement dust powder was added to the self-compacting mortar in (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 %) percentage by weight of cement to be used as cementitious sustainable materials. The experimental results indicated that the modification and enhancement of the workability of fresh mixture and the mechanical strengths of self-compacting mortar were increased as micro cement dust additives increases. Also; the water absorption and total porosity were decreased with increases of micro cement dust powder.
