Abstract
The purpose of the work presented in this paper is the treatment of dune sand; which is abundant in the region of Djelfa (Algeria), with different lime and tyre rubber powder in order to valorise them in road construction. Several steps were considered in this research. A method of blend formulation has been proposed which is based on stabilization of the studied sand using a hydraulic binder (lime) and scrap tyre rubber powder with different percentages. For each mixture, the optimum Proctor, shear strength, immediate and immersion CBR index, compressive strength and tensile strength were determined. After that, an analysis of the results was made to examine the influence of treatment agents on the characteristics of the mixtures. The results show that the replacement of lime and tyre rubber powder at optimum content has a positive impact on the physical and mechanical behaviours of the treated dune sand mixtures; increases its compressive and tensile strengths, improves its cohesion and increases its immediate and immersion CBR indexes. The selected optimum formulation has sufficient performances to be used as road material.
