Assessing the Use of Crushed Rock Aggregate and Carbon Black for Laterite Soil Stabilization in Road Construction. by Turyamureeba, Emmanuel

“…Results obtained were analyzed graphically and a blend of 50% lateritic soil, 40% aggregates, and 10% carbon black was found to be the most effective in producing base material since it gave a CBR of 63.0 at 98% relative compaction and a PI of 6.5 which meet the requirements of CBR above 60 % as per the General Specifications for Road and Bridges of the Ministry of Works, Housing and Communication in Uganda. This research concluded that 50% lateritic soil, 40% crushed rock aggregates and 10% carbon black can be used for road base construction instead of 50% aggregates and 50% lateritic soil as per the research carried out by Jjuuko et al (2014). …”

Consistent with a central role for DC in TLS formation, ADU S-100-activated mCD11c+ DCs also exhibited upregulated expression of TLS promoting factors including lymphotoxin-α (LTA), interleukin (IL)-36, inflammatory chemokines and type I interferons in vitro and in vivo. …”
