- Abstract
The progress of the country is greatly linked with the development and prosperity of villages and their communication system. Besides the road construction cost, maintenance cost is also a big problem for rural road development. Though Fly Ash (FA) stabilization has been in vogue for some time now, being a waste product from thermal power plants, it is available in the form of airborne fine dust which poses a huge problem of disposal, besides creating atmospheric and water pollution and serious health hazard to human life and ecological imbalance. FA has varied pozzolanic properties and its reactivity with cement may be suitably utilized to stabilize soil, sand or moorum (MU) for pavements, construction of road, etc. In this paper, a suitable technique is presented to use cement, FA, stone dust and MU for the construction of rural MU roads, instead of using only moorum as road material.
