Özet: For Being a developing country urbanization is growing rapidly in Bangladesh and there has been a significant increase in the construction of roads. But due to lack of financial aid many of the roads are still unsealed. However, not only the utilization of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in flexible pavement will be helpful for the reduction of road construction costs but also it will help to reduce environmental pollution which may be caused by disposing CDW in open area. The objective of this research is to utilize the CDW in base and sub base layers in the flexible pavement design to reduce the cost of road construction and environmental pollution. Proceeding by collecting CDW like brick from demolished building and conventional brick from kiln, a no of standard test conducted in laboratory namely Aggregate Impact Value, Crushing Value, Specific Gravity, Water Absorption and Loss Angeles Abrasion Test for three times. After analyzing the test results, we found that the average Aggregate Impact Value for CDW and Conventional Aggregate (CA) are respectively 29.52% and 23.87%, Aggregate Crushing value for CDW and CA are respectively 28.10% and 22.88%, Los Angeles Abrasion value for CDW and CA are respectively 31.47% and 28.52%, specific gravity value for CDW and CA both is 1.75, water absorption for CDW and CA are respectively 7.62% and 12.23%. After analyzing the test results and comparing with the standard value, we figure out that the CDW are useful for using base and sub base layers in the flexible pavement.
