Road Construction in developing countries can be expensive. Therefore, an effective and a more affordable method is needed. Using local, indigenous, and in-situ materials are becoming necessary as the luxury of constructing asphalt mixing stations with a secured material supply chain for crushed aggregate and more does not always exist. Meanwhile, recently introduced environmental regulations bring additional constraints on traditional road construction practices.
AggreBind’s soil stabilization products; RoadMaster RM1/RM2 and AggreBind AGB-WT/BT are unique, patented and patent-pending, water based, cost effective, environmentally friendly, cross-linking polymeric emulsions with or without a proprietary tracer that provides an excellent quality assurance tool for specifiers and contractors alike.
This Paper investigates the influence of using AGB-WT on improving the load-bearing strength and shear-strength parameters, while expanding longevity of stabilization and creating water-resistance in roads constructed using primarily in-situ materials, including sub-soils, sands, mining waste and crushed construction waste.
Reported results have proven that AGB-WT can provide stable and dust-free roads as well as stabilized base-layers for major highways passing the requirement of International Road Specifications. Moreover, it is concluded that the use of AGB-WT in soil stabilization or in stabilizing base-layers in road construction can reduce the cost of road construction by 40% to 60% and increase the in-situ load-bearing capacity by 400% to 600%. Results are documented in AggreBind’s Book of Civic Approvals and Independent Test Results.
