Abstract

High quality aggregates that meet the details or specifications are getting progressively rare and costly in numerous areas in India. Conventional flexible pavement specifications require high quality aggregates in both base and sub base course. By and large locally accessible aggregates are not fulfilling the particulars and the totals that meet the details must be pulled in long separations. This demonstration fundamentally expands the cost related with the development and ensuing upkeep and recovery of them. Consequently, the utilization of locally accessible marginal aggregates in flexible pavement construction is one of the conceivable responses to high asphalt development expenses and absence of value totals sources in an immense nation like India. An expansive meaning of a marginal aggregate is “any aggregate not in completely accordance with the details utilized as a part of a nation for ordinary road aggregates yet can be utilized effectively either in unique conditions, made conceivable on account of climatic qualities or late advance in road procedures or subsequent to subjecting to specific treatment”. So if we use large amount of locally available materials in the road construction the economic benefit is there. Our principle goal of the study is to enhance the properties of the locally accessible gravel soil/ marginal aggregate (Moorum) by including cement and bitumen emulsion. An endeavour has been made to utilize cement for increasing the strength of the gravel and emulsion for increasing the water resisting capacity. The entire work includes increasing strength of gravel soil (Moorum) and expressed in terms of CBR and UCS value.
