The research consists in examining the applicability of two kinds of ash (fly and bottom) of coal combustion residue from thermal power, on the layers of pavements base road by mixing these ashes with a nonlateritic sandy-silty soil, characteristic of the Rio de Janeiro state, with and without lime addiction. This study presents the results of physical characterization (granulometry and Atterberg limits), chemistry (fluorescence X-ray energy dispersive), and mechanics (compression, resilient modulus and permanent deformation), and considering that ashes are industrial waste, environmental testing solubilization and leaching. These tests were conducted on the pure soil, on the ashes and on soil with bottom ash (30 and 40 per cent of bottom ash) and fly ash (10 and 20 per cent of fly ashes) mixtures, these levels of ashes are related to the weight of dry soil, with and without lime addiction. The composite model for resilient modulus were obtained, which represents the mechanical behavior, using the finite element program (SisPAV) for the pavement design. The mixtures with the addiction of ashes showed a mechanical behavior consistent with the requirements for low traffic roads. The results show that the soil is dependent on confining pressure and the inclusion of fly ash and the mixture cure dramatically increase the value of resilient modulus, which is revealed by thinner base layer in comparison to the pure soil, for the same load level and the same design criteria. The results of bottom ashes also were aceptable, increasing the value of resilient modulus in lower taxes than the fly ashes with the addiction of lime, but showing better results in the mixtures without addiction of lime, when comparing wiht the mixtures with fly ashes. The results were satisfactory, and dependents of the levels and kind of ashes, of addiction of lime, and the cure, highlighting the use of both ashes of mineral coal in pavement base roads, eliminating the current problems of waste disposal in dumps and landfills, putting a best end for this material.
