Abstract
Road infrastructure in India is developing at a very fast pace. A good pavement is needed for the safe, comfortable and economical movement of traffic. If the in situ soil has no adequate strength, either soil from other sites are to be used or the available soil has to be stabilized so that it attains sufficient strength to carry the traffic load. Soil can be stabilized with RBI grade 81 and then can be used in Sub grade and also as Sub base and base Layers. The whole Pavement can be constructed by using RBI grade 81 thus reducing energy consumed and placing of unbound granular material (WBM/WMM) without compromising on Strength and durability. Various samples have been made by taking soil with 0% RBI Grade-81 content; 2% RBI Grade-81 content; 4% RBI Grade-81 content; 6% RBI Grade-81 content; 8% RBI Grade-81. The CBR sample is prepared by 7 days curing and 4 days soaked period. The comparison of the strength results with or without RBI Grade 81 has been done. It has been found that RBI Grade 81 is a unique and innovative material which results in saving the extra cost of the pavement.
