The Ferromanganese Slag contains substantial volume of Iron and Manganese and the content is mainly in silicate phases which makes the material hard and durable. A high-quality silica sand commonly known as Foundry sand that is a derivative from the manufacture of both nonferrous and ferrous metal castings. It is a waste material daunting hazardous effect on environment and human health. Its disposal is not economically viable and cannot be disposed freely in nature. The integral properties of foundry sand could be utilized to make this material as environmentally friendly and resolve the problem of its disposal. Similarly, tyre chips are industrial wastes which can be reused. This project discusses about the improvement of Wet Mix Macadam properties of flexible pavement by blending the mix with foundry sand tyre chips and Ferromanganese Slag. The influence of diverse mix proportions of aggregate, stone dust, Foundry sand, Ferromanganese slag and tyre chips on Maximum Dry Density (MDD), permeability and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values has been studied. The reports demonstrate that with adding Ferromanganese slag, foundry sand and tyre chips in W.M.M, the value of CBR and the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) of the mixture substantially increases. The designed mix with optimum percentage of aggregate, stone dust, foundry sand Ferromanganese slag and tyre chips can be effectively used in building the base layer of flexible pavement thus presenting a solution to construct good roads at low cost.
