Article Synopsis
- This research explores the use of trachydacitic, a natural material, as aggregate in concrete for rigid pavements, focusing on two curing methods: standard water curing for 28 days and a combined method involving both water and dry oven curing.
- Four types of concrete mixtures were tested, examining mechanical, durability, and surface abrasion properties under different conditions, with significant findings related to compressive and flexural strengths.
- Results indicated that the combined curing method enhanced strength and durability against freeze-thaw cycles while slightly decreasing resistance to abrasion; trachydacitic aggregate in powdered form showed promise for high-strength concrete applications in road construction.
Expansive soils have a high tendency for volume change in case of fluctuations in moisture content, potentially causing significant damage to light structures, particularly road pavements. This paper investigates the influence of waste paper sludge ([Formula: see text]) as an alternative sustainable stabilizer on the volume change behavior of expansive road subgrade soils of different origins. For this purpose, [Formula: see text] was added to the expansive soils at ratios of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15% by dry weight of the soils.
