Partial replacement of normal sand with garnet waste for bedding sand layer of concrete block pavement

Highway construction use river sand as a part of the materials. Due to fast developments, normal sand demand is increase and over exploited in construction. The increase in rate leads to increase in demand for raw materials which in turn leads to price hike of raw materials. Therefore this research...

The increase in rate leads to increase in demand for raw materials which in turn leads to price hike of raw materials. Therefore this research aims to investigate the suitability of garnet waste to replace sand partially or fully as bedding materials. The objectives of the research are to determine the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value at various content of sand-garnet ratio to be applied as bedding sand layer of concrete block pavement (CBP). Samples are labelled as 10S, 9S1G, 8S2G, 7S3G, 6S4G and 10G to differentiate the garnet waste content. Sieve analysis was carried out accordance to BS 882.
