Influence of mica on unconfined compressive strength of a cement-treated weathered granite gravel

The road construction industry faces a shortage of naturally occurring gravel materials that meet the requirements for base or even at times sub-base quality. This situation is exacerbated in some cases by the occurrence of mica in soils. This is reported to significantly affect the engineering prop...
