Proc. lnstn Ciu. Engrs, Part 2,1987,83, June, 453-463 TECHNICAL NOTE 477 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING GROUP Development of acceptable bituminous road base materials from laterite the possibility of stabilizinglaterite with bitumen is described. The California Bearing Ratio test was adopted for a cold-mix asphaltic laterite a hot-mix asphaltic made with an MC-3000cutbackbitumenandtheMarshalltestfor laterite made with a 60/70 penetration grade bitumen. The results indicate that both the cold-mix and the hot-mix asphaltic laterites are adequate base course construction, for with a possible use of the hot-mix for surfacing light-to-medium trafficked roads...
