Economical Analysis of Lime and Fly Ash Stabilized Flexible Pavements
Abstract: India is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. Roads are to be designed with good reliability to fulfill the long-term performance during the design period. Most of the time flexible pavements in India need to be constructed on problematic subgrade soil. Such subgrades have low California bearing ratio which leads to more pavement thickness. Decrease in availability of suitable sub-base and base course materials for highway …
