It covers all earthworks, whether for roads, railways, and otherinfrastructure, including fills, capping layers, transition zones, drainage ribs or others (for details, seeEN 16907-1:2018, Clause 1 “Scope”).

— to give an overview of the alternative materials that have been successfully used in earthworks inEurope;
— for the alternative materials, for which use in earthworks is adequately documented, to give generalinformation regarding the points of attention that clients, designers and earthwork companies, keepin mind in any attempt to use them in earthworks.

This document does not deal with alternative materials used as binders (fly ash, granulated blastfurnace slag or others) or binder components.
