Investigation of Rock Dust Suitability as Improvement Material of Subgrade and Sub-base Laterite Material of Elerinjare, Kwara State, Nigeria, in Pavement ConstructionBy Olatunji K.J., Alabi T.M., Yusuf A.K., Sawo R.A. , Ajisafe M.A., Imam S.O. , Abdurauf F.A., Sulaiman S.O.
Abstract: The current study involves the improvement of laterite soil by addition of granite dust. The laterite and dust used for the study were collected at Elerinjare town, Ilorin. The analyses were done in a laboratory. The tests are compaction test, specific gravity, California bearing ratio (CBR) (soaked and unsoaked), Atterberg's limit, Sieve analysis, and bulk density. In this investigation, an attempt was made to stabilize lateritic soil using quarry dust …

Economic Importance of Laterite Deposit in Oke-Oyi Area, Ilorin, NigeriaBy Olatunji K.J., Olota B.A.
Abstract: Two soil samples A and B were taken from Oke-Oyi, Kwara state, North Central, Nigeria. The water content of the samples are 5.8% and 6.5 for sample A and B respectively. This shows the variability in water table in the area. The specific gravities values are 2.7 and 2.78 for samples A and B, this is an indicator of inorganic soil. Grain size analysis show the laterite to be sandy …
