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...
