| Summary: | 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. |
