Abstract: This study systematically examined dredged materials from various aspects, including their sources, the volume generated annually, beneficial uses, and the management processes currently practiced. In addition, this paper presents the relevant policies governing the dredging, reuse, and disposal of dredged materials in the United States. A summary of various sources, types/classifications, and the physical and chemical properties of dredged materials used by various researchers are presented. This paper also summarizes the innovative techniques for the beneficial reuse of dredged materials in a wide range of applications in concrete materials, construction products, roadway construction, habitat building, landfill liner/cap, agriculture soil reconstruction, and beach nourishment. Further, limitations and corresponding solutions related to the beneficial use and management of dredged materials were provided in the end.
