Analysis of suitability of the aggregate for use in pavement construction
Keywords:
Aggregates, CrushingAbstract
This paper deals with the methodology used and the tests conducted on aggregates while performing the tender work for the improvement of pavement by widening from 5.50 meter to 10.00 meter staging and C. C. Block on Rewari Dadri road upto Lula Ahir in Rewari District including shifting of utility of P. H. and Electrical (Road ID: 1339, 4656 and 1682) including HSAMB Portion with an objective to tailor the functionality of this framework so that it is suitable for cultural exploration across national and regional boundaries. Aspects of specimen preparation and of procedures adopted of aggregate tests are analysed and demonstrated that results from these tests can affect, significantly, the results obtained.The paper presents the detailed procedure and equipment required for each testing method.
