Optimal proportioning of grout constituents using mathematical programming for semi flexible pavement

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pavement Research and Technology, 2019
This study proposes a mathematical approach to obtain the optimal proportion of the grout constituents for a semi-flexible pavement. Grout mixes were prepared using three different water-cement ratio, three sand sizes, one sand-cement ratio, four/five different percentages of super plasticizer, and two different types of super plasticizer.
