Improvement in CBR value of sub-base soil using concrete slush waste (CSW)

The earthen material and its properties are essential in the design of the pavement system as they affect the pavement's strength and stability, even under adverse traffic and environmental conditions. Unfortunately, earthen on-site has not always had a suitable property to be used as a good qu...
