Assessing the Effect of Groundnut Shell Ash-Lime Stabilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Road Construction. by Tumusiime, Innocent

“…RAP acceptance in road bases and subbases has been limited, because of the lack of laboratory and field performance data while large quantities of groundnut shell ash (GSA) are generated from the combustion of groundnut shell and also disposed in large quantities on production sites and production of Lime not only imposes financial burdens but also contributes to environmental degradation and carbon emissions. This paper presents the results of the laboratory evaluation of the characteristics of GSA-Lime stabilized RAP with a view of determining its suitability for use as highway pavement material in flexible pavement construction. …”
