Granulometric stabilization of laterites from Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba for use in base course

Abstract The present article presents the study of three laterites from the Triãngulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba region, aiming to use it as a pavement base. The methodology used consisted of carrying out the tests prescribed by the DNIT 098/2007 standard and, as a complementary methodology, linear contraction, MCT classification, modulus of resilience and X-ray diffractometry were introduced. Four mixtures of laterite with sand were prepared aiming to correct the plasticity of the materials. Three samples of laterites and three of the four mixtures with sand showed sand equivalent values lo...
