Abstract

River sand is generally used by everyone for various construction purposes; production of concrete, cement-sand mortar and concrete blocks. The main objective of this paper is to study the performance of sand-emulsion mixes under the effect of field and laboratory environmental conditions. In the present study, the main objective is to study the behavior and effect of bitumen emulsion on sand by Marshall Stability of mix design. The specimen was prepared with different grading of sand such as coarse, medium and fine sand with bituminous emulsion. In the present investigation the Marshall properties of bituminous mix using bitumen emulsion have been studied and compared with sand emulsions mix whose desirable value are mentioned in MORTH recommendation specification. In this study the various specimen were made with varying percentages of bitumen emulsion as 8%, 9%, 10% with sand and evaluate the Marshall Stability load value or flow value. It was concluded that by use of different types of sands increases the life of pavement, increased marshal stability values, lowered pavement deformation, increase fatigue resistance, provide better adhesion between emulsion and sand and increase in durability of pavement. In the present investigation the Marshall properties of coarse sand and fine sand are studied and result are obtained which are compared with MORTH recommendation specification.
