Use of industrial by-products and wastes as highway construction materials help achieving sustainable development. This paper presents and discusses the results of the experimental studies carried out to determine the effect of combination of different industrial by-products and wastes on unconfined compressive strength variation of the mixtures. The effect of different stabilizing agents such as cement and lime, and the effect of different curing periods such as 7-days, 14-days and 28-days on the strength variation are also examined.
