In this paper, a detailed characterization of Tungabhadra (TB) Reservoir sediment such as physical, chemical, Geotechnical, morphological and mineralogical attribute is brought off for identifying the suitability of dredged sediment as engineering material. Characteristics of sediment is however compared with Indian Standard codes for specific engineering applications. Through this study it is depicted that, sediment obtained from TB dam reservoirs as such, cannot be used for engineering purpose (such as, as a fill material for highway construction, as sand for concreting and plastering and as foundry sand and other applications) these sediments need prior treatment before using them for above mentioned applications. However, it is also be noted that, to enhance the strength properties of sediment, Air-cooled blast-furnace slag (ABS) is used as a stabilizer. On the other hand, ABS is treated as waste material in steel industry. Thus, it is concluded from this study that, TB dam sediment can be used for many engineering applications provided proper screening and stabilization technic is adopted. Thereby, the cost of dredging is converted into profit by selling the TB dam sediments for engineering applications.

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Waste and Resource Management

Waste and Resource Management publishes original research and practice papers on all civil engineering and construction related aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the re-use and recycling, to the management and disposal of residual wastes.    Associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations and links with sustainable consumption and production are included. The range of subjects covered encompasses, but is not restricted to, strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and re-use, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and, the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.

The journal 'Proceedings of Institution of Civil Engineers: Waste and Resource Management' publishes original research and practice papers on all aspects of the resource management cycle related to civil engineering and construction. This includes the minimization of waste, reuse and recycling, as well as the management and disposal of residual wastes. The journal also addresses associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations, and links to sustainable consumption and production. The range of subjects covered is extensive, encompassing strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and reuse, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation, and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.

《Proceedings of Institution of Civil Engineers: Waste and Resource Management》期刊发表关于资源管理周期各个环节的原创研究和实践论文，涵盖了从废物最小化、再利用和回收，到残余废物的管理和处置等所有土木工程和建筑相关方面。期刊内容还包括相关的立法、标准、社会经济考虑以及与可持续消费和生产的联系。所涉及的主题范围广泛，包括但不限于通过更好的设计、改进的回收和再利用、更高效的资源管理来减少建筑废物的策略，以及废物和资源管理设施的采购、规划、设计、施工、运营和物流等方面。
