The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Waste and Recycled Materials Information Database is a Windows-based program containing information on 21 waste and recycled materials (WRMs) for use in transportation-related applications. This CD-ROM contains the database along with a User's Manual. The manual assumes the user is familiar with the Windows environment. The database is divided into nine major categories that are intended to provide the user with both general and detailed engineering and environmental information on each WRM. Included in the database are recommended laboratory engineering tests that can be used to assess the suitability of each WRM for use in transportation-related applications, as well as recommendations for monitoring WRM field trials. The database also includes a set of tools that provides the user with the means to edit the text within the database and update the information with new tables and maps to respond to new data inputs. The nine major program categories are as follows: general information; production and use; engineering properties; environmental properties; applications; laboratory testing; field testing; references; and contacts.
