This paper discusses the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of a stabilized soil by using the fly ash, stone dust and rubber powder for design of a pavement. This paper will help in utilization of locally available waste materials to reuse in the subbase and subgrade layers of pavement. Rubber powder is a waste byproduct generated from the recycling of tires, and is not so easy for degradable, and hence leads to release of harmful gases when it tends to burn. Stone dust is a locally available waste generated product from quarries. The generation of stone dust is increasing day to day in large quantity. The huge quantity of stone dust storage amount will affect the quality of soil. Fly ash is waste combusted coal ash powder generated from the steamers of coal boilers with the burning of fuel gases together. In the sub grade layer the soil is mixed in different proportions with stone dust for hard foundation. In the sub base layer the soil is stabilized with the combination of rubber powder and fly ash. When the rubber powder and fly ash, mixed with water for compaction generates a bond between the soil particles to settle the air fields. In this paper various percentages of rubber powder, stone dust and fly ash with different samples for pavement is layered, and after that plate load test is conducted upon it.


Today’s world is always leads to development in technology as well as the economic growth though sometime these will affect the environment badly. That’s why world environmental commission coined the termed called sustainable development where development takes place without hampering the others’ needs. Concrete industry is rapidly growing industry in India which consumes lots of natural resources during the production of concrete. Here Stone dust is used as a sustainable material in place of sand partially. M25 grade of concrete has been chosen for the experiments. Different mechanical properties of concrete like compressive strength, Split tensile, flexural strength etc. and Microstructural features like SEM, EDX have been included in this study. Compressive Strength and flexural strength test results shown the increase in the strength. Sulphate Resistance Properties have been tested by curing the cubes in the MgSO4 solution and increase in weight has been observed. Similarities are found in the SEM pictures

In this paper the dynamic property (shear modulus and damping ratio) of cement-stabilized soil is studied with using the resonant column test. The amount of cement admixed, the magnitude of confining pressure, and shearing strain amplitude are the parameters considered. Test results show that the maximum shear modulus of cement-stabilized soil increases with increasing confining pressure, the minimum damping ratio decreases with increasing confining pressure. The shear modulus of cement-stabilized soil decreases with increasing shearing strain while the damping ratio increases with increasing shearing strain. In the paper the relationship of shear modulus versus shearing strain is fitted into the Ramberg-Osgood equations using regression analysis.

To probe into the dynamic mechanical properties of expansive soil stabilized by fly ash and lime under impact load, the split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test was carried out in this study. An analysis was made on the dynamic mechanical property and final fracture morphology of stabilized soil, and the failure mechanism was also explored from the perspective of energy dissipation. According to the test results, under the impact pressure of 0.2 MPa, plain soil and pure fly ash-stabilized soil exhibit strong plasticity. After the addition of lime, the stabilized soil shows obvious brittle failure. The dynamic compressive strength and absorbed energy of stabilized soil first increase and then decrease with the change of mix proportions. Both the dynamic compressive strength and the absorbed energy reach the peak value at the content of 20% fly ash and 5% lime (20% F + 5% L). In the process of the test, most of the incident energy is reflected back to the incident bar. The absorbed energy of stabilized soil increases linearly with the rise of dynamic compressive strength, while the absorbed energy is negatively correlated with the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension of pore morphology of the plain soil is lower than that of the fly ash-lime combined stabilized soil when it comes to the two different magnification ratios. The test results indicate that the modifier content of 20% F + 5% L can significantly improve the dynamic mechanical properties of the expansive soil.

In this study, properties of self-compacting concretes (SCCs) containing acidic and basic pumice (AP-BP) was investigated. SCCs incorporating AP-BP (SCCAs-SCCBs) were produced with constant slump flow diameter of 720±20 mm and 690±20 mm by adjusting superplasticizer (SP), respectively. Control mixture was designed with totally crushed stone aggregate. SCCAs and SCCBs could be produced up to 100% coarse AP with 20% increments and 60% coarse BP with 10% increments, respectively, to ensure the desired limit values for SCC. Firstly, fresh properties of SCCs were determined. Then, the mechanical and durability properties of SCCs were measured at 28 and 56 days. Test results indicated that workability properties of SCCAs are markedly higher than that of SCCBs. Additionally, mechanical and durability performances of SCCs decreased with increasing of AP and BP. The compressive strengths of SCCs containing 60% AP and BP decreased approximately 28-29% and 22-24%, compared to the control mixture, respectively. Similarly, modulus of elasticity of same mixtures decreased around 35-39% and 17-19%, respectively. However, all results indicated that SCCs produced with AP and BP provided the available limits in the design of SCC. Additionally, SCCBs exhibited higher performance than SCCAs in terms of hardened properties. Moreover, high correlation coefficients (R2>0.89) between the durability and mechanical properties were found for SCCs.

In order to study the mechanical properties of Crushed Stone-Loess (CSL), a mixture of loess and crushed stone, and Geogrid-reinforced CSL (GCSL), a series of unconfined compression tests were conducted using samples prepared respectively with CSL, GCSL, Pure Loess (PL) or Geogrid-reinforced PL (GPL). Samples varied either in the number of geogrid-reinforcement layers or in the relative compaction / in the content of crushed stone. Based on the analysis of the test results, the following conclusions are given: (1) The pattern of compressive stress-strain curves of GCSL changes gradually from obvious strain softening to strain hardening with the increase of the geogrid-reinforcement layers and the relative compaction. (2) While the compressive strain is greater than a certain value, the compressive strength of GCSL increases significantly with the increase of crushed stone content. (3) Under a larger compressive strain, the crushed stone inclusions improve apparently the compressive property of GCSL with closely spaced geogrid-reinforcement layers due to the interlocking between the crushed stone and the geogrid.

Generally, the content of sulfide and sulfate (expressed as a sulphur trioxide) in pebble and crushed stone for construction is low. So use the weight method specified in the national standard method for determination, is not only tedious and time consuming, but also not accurate enough. In this paper, with reference to the pretreatment method of the relevant national standard, rapid and accurate test results can usually be obtained for the determination of sulfur trioxide in and crushed stone for construction by using ICP-AES as a new method, greatly reducing the time of the experiment and improve the efficiency. According to the analysis of spectrum interference, 182.0 nm was selected as the best analysis of spectral line for sulfur. The detection line of this method (3S) was 0.016 mg/L, the recovery rate of the sample was between 93.3%-104.0%, and the relative standard deviation (n=6) of the parallel samples was less than 1.05%.

Abstract Crushed Stone Dust (CSD), which is a waste product from an aggregate crusher, could be used as a pavement layer. To improve the tensile strength of CSD, it is worthwhile reinforcing it. In the present study an attempt has been made to reinforce a loosely and densely compacted CSD layer with Hexagonal Wire Mesh (HWM) placed in various positions. The results indicate that the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value is improved by the placement of HWM in CSD. Field Rutting studies were also conducted on test tracks made of unreinforced and reinforced CSD layers. The rut depths were significantly reduced due to the inclusion of the reinforcement in the CSD layer.

Soft ground improvement to provide stable foundations for infrastructure is national priority for most countries. Weak soil may initiate instability to foundations reducing their lifespan, which necessitates the adoption of a suitable soil stabilization method. Amongst various soil stabilization techniques, using appropriate admixtures is quite popular. The present study aims to investigate the suitability of bagasse ash and stone dust as the admixtures for stabilizing soft clay, in terms of compaction and penetration characteristics. The studies were conducted by means of a series of laboratory experimentations with standard Proctor compaction and CBR tests. From the test results it was observed that adding bagasse ash and stone dust significantly upgraded the compaction and penetration properties, specifically the values of optimum moisture content, maximum dry density and CBR. Comparison of test results with available data on similar experiments conducted by other researchers were also performed. Lastly, a study on the cost effectiveness for transport embankment construction with the treated soils, based on local site conditions in the study area of Assam, India, was carried out. The results are analyzed and interpreted, and the relevant conclusions are drawn therefrom. The limitations and recommendations for future research are also included. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091771 Full Text: PDF

The use of waste recycled materials in road construction nowadays considered a positive means of providing improved pavement performance. This research focused on evaluating the effect of waste glass powder as a partial replacement of crushed stone dust filler in hot mix asphalt. Three hot mix asphalt samples produced using crushed stone dust of 5%, 6.5%, and 8% as mineral filler with five different bitumen content of 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, and 6%, respectively. From the preliminary series tests of asphalt contents, a 6.5% crushed stone dust filler selected, providing the highest stability of waste glass powder. The content of crushed stone dust filler replaced with a rate of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% to test Marshal stability to obtain the Optimum bitumen content and Optimum filler content. Results indicated at 75% replacement of crushed stone dust with waste glass powder at 5.10% bitumen content, 12.0kN Marshall stability value, 2.84mm Flow value, 4.0% Air voids, 72.3% VFB, and 2.360g/cm3 Bulk density. Hence, the mixture of 75% waste glass powder by weight of crushed stone dust filler meets the minimum requirements of the Ethiopian Road Authority and Asphalt Institute Specifications.
