Popis: Pavement is the backbone of an effective and efficient transportation system. Data on the use of aluminium dross as filler material in the modification of asphalt for a sustainable pavement was espoused. Aluminium dross which is a solid waste from steel production industry was utilized. Data on the engineering and stability properties of the material in enhancing the strength of the asphalt mix design was espoused. This was achieved by adding the solid waste at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% and 12.5% of aluminium dross to the asphalt concrete sample. Marshall Test was used to determine the stability of aluminium dross in flexible pavement and this was used for the selection of asphalt binder content with a suitable density which satisfies minimum stability and range of flow values using AASHTO specification. The data obtained will be of help to researchers, engineers, road construction workers and environmentalist on the use of this solid waste in the construction of sustainable long-lasting roads for national growth and solid waste reduction.
