The increasing demand for construction materials and the depletion of natural aggregates highlights the need for sustainable alternatives. This study investigates the feasibility of using lime waste, a byproduct of the Solvay process, as a material for embankment construction. The tested material was sourced from the JANIKSODA Production Plant landfill (CIECH Soda Polska S.A.) in Janikowo, Poland. A series of laboratory tests, including granulometric analysis, moisture content determination, and direct shear strength tests, were conducted using a Large-Scale Direct Shear Apparatus (WABS). ; The results indicate that the tested material has an internal friction angle of approximately 47° and a relative density index (Id) between 0.65 and 0.85, confirming its suitability for use in embankment construction. These findings contribute to the development of sustainable geotechnical solutions by promoting the use of industrial waste as an alternative to natural aggregates. The study encourages further research and practical implementation of waste-based materials in construction, supporting environmentally friendly and durable earth structures.
