  • Abstract:
  • The main objective of this experimental study is to improve the properties of the gravel soil by adding bitumen emulsion. An attempt has been made to use emulsion for improving the strength of gravel soil expressed in terms of CBR values which may prove to be economical. A little bit cement is added to provide better soil strength. It is observed that excellent soil Strength results by using cationic bitumen emulsion.
