THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LOCAL MATERIALS IN THE STRUCTURE OF ECONOMICAL URBAN PAVEMENTS

In this paper were studied the properties of a representative soil of 25 de Mayo district, in the Buenos Aires Province, with the object to establish the possibility of its use as a base and sub-base in urban pavements. The soil behaviour was analyzed making mixtures with superstable EBL2 bituminous emulsions and also with soil-cement mixtures. The results obtained with both mixtures were compared and technical and economical considerations were given.
