Abstract
India has a large road network covering an area of about 4 lakh million square kilometers including all types of pavements in urban as well as in rural areas. The availability of conventional material is becoming a challenge for engineers in construction of pavements. In this concern requirement of good materials for construction is there. In order to provide good alternative materials for construction of pavement layers, M- sand may be used as a replacement for conventional sand. In order to preserve the various natural resources the various types of wastes should have given keen attention in order to use them in the various road construction processes as a base and sub-base material. The utilization of the alternative material based on the industrial waste is the need of hour. This work is done in order to give utilization of crushed stone sand or M-sand by analysing various characteristics of the pavement material by using the crushed stone sand in their construction processes. The main aim of the research is to strengthen the surface layer of the rigid pavement. In this work, gradation of particles, moisture content, specific gravity, workability, compressive strength and flexural strength is determined in order to compare the various characteristics of natural sand and M- sand.
