Stone Dust Mix, Soil Index Properties

Abstract:

Index properties and strength of such type murrum/Gravel soil is low and does not fulfill the requirements for its use as a road pavement material like GSB. These properties may be improved by adding a suitable admixture of stone dust/river sand. Therefore a detailed experimental study is proposed by adding combination of quarry soil (i. e. murrum/Gravel soil) with stone dust in various percentage, to find suitable proportion of local murrum/ Gravel soil that will suit parameter for granular Sub-base material for low traffic volume roads in rural area.The main object of this study is to find out solution for use of local gravel soil/murrum in construction of road pavement layers by adding suitable percentage of stone dust/river sand. To improve its properties and to make it suitable material for road pavement material like Granular sub-base. Following objects are taken in to consideration during study.
