HIGH VOLUME FLY ASH CONCRETE WITH STEEL DUST
ABSTRACT
 This research study focuses on the actual performance of the
flexible pavements and its relationship with the mechanistic
and volumetric properties. The data required for the study
were obtained using the Long Term Pavement Performance
database.
INTRODUCTION
 This study focuses on the actual performance of the flexible
pavements and its relationship with the in situ, mechanistic and
volumetric properties. In general, pavements are sub- jected to
various kinds of loading and different environmental
conditions, over time that manifest various distresses and
affects the pavement performance. These distresses include
rutting, fatigue cracking, temperature cracking, transverse
cracking, and age-related block cracking
 Under a set of loading and environmental conditions the
performance of the flexible pavements is function of properties
of asphalt concrete mixture, volumetric properties (air voids,
volume in mineral aggregate (VMA), specific gravity, and
asphalt content) and mechanistic properties of HMA mixture,
and underlying base and subbase and roadbed materials.
 The temperature also has detrimental effects on the
performance of the pavement; if the temperature is too high it
causes rutting and low temperature will cause thermal cracking.
By providing appropriate VMA, it is believed that rutting may be
minimized, and mixture durability can be enhanced.
OBJECTIVE
 This paper mainly deals with the study of the rut and fatigue
performances of the flexible pavements in relationship to in
situ volumetric and mechanistic properties.
SCOPE OF WORK MIX DESIGN
 It is one of the most important engineering properties of soil for
design of sub grade of roads. CBR value of soil may depends on
many factors like maximum dry density (MDD), optimum
moisture content (OMC), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL),
plasticity index (PI), type of soil, permeability of soil etc.
Besides, soaked or unsoaked condition of soil also affects the
value.
 Carry out compressive strength test on concrete adding steel
dust and fly ash to compare with normal concrete.
LITERATURE REVIEW
In this study an attempt is made to evaluate and compare the IRC
method of flexible pavement design using M-EPDG in terms of its
de- sign concepts and structural adequacy. It was seen that the IRC
design over estimates the design requirements for all the distress
types except AC layer rutting.
A redesign was done to rectify this problem and the design was
optimized and conclude that an IRC design for the study stretch was
done. Using that as the trial design, analysis was done in M-EPDG
software for evaluating the IRC design. It was found that the IRC
section is safe for all the distresses except that for the AC layer
rutting. Even though it passed the design AC rutting limit of 0.25 in,
it failed for the reliability criteria.
