An approach in improving the properties of sand dunes

Abstract EN

An experimental study to improve sand dunes to gain economic construction of highway using these locally available materials.

The study was divided into two approaches; the first was by using different bituminous binder proportions from (2) to (10) percent, while the second was to use fine metals as reinforcement.

The results show an increase in the degree of improvement as reinforcement layers and silt contents were increased.

Also it was found that 8% 0f asphalt cement increase the stabilization of sand dunes.
