Valorization of marble powder with lime for mine haul road base courses: experimental and numerical study (opens in new tab)

The main objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the potential use of marble stone waste as a stabilizing material to improve the geotechnical performance of mine haul road pavements. Geotechnical testing including Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), and triaxial tests, along with microstructural analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectro...
