Abstract

This study was carried out for the investigation of the Late Permian Wargal limestone at Kafar Kot Chashma area, Khisor Range to determine its suitability as an aggregate that is used in road construction and civil structures with the help of geological engineering testing. The results of geological engineering testing of Wargal limestone samples show the tolerable values of all standard engineering parameters including the Loss Angles Abrasion value (23.37%), Aggregate impact (16.8%), Crushing value 13.1%, Unit weight 1.67, Soundness (1.007%), Specific gravity (2.70), Water Absorption (0.48%), Flakiness Index (6.5%), Elongation value (7.1%), Coating of bitumen (> 95%), stripping of bitumen (<5%), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value (93.6%), Maximum Dry Density 2.307g/c and Optimum Moisture Content (5.79%). As per different International and National Standards like AASHTO, ASTM, BS and NHA, the mentioned results of various engineering tests were within the tolerable limits. The petrography of the selected samples of the Late Permian Wargal limestone revealed very minor value of quartz (0.5%), hematite/limonite (0.6%) and clay content 1.0% showing the insignificant threat of ASR. The values of dolomite are limited to (1%) which shows that there is no ACR reaction with ordinary Portland cement. The results of geological and engineering parameters of the study area strongly suggest its suitability as a potential aggregate (i.e. for the base course, subbase course, cement concrete and asphalt) in the road construction.
巴基斯坦Khisor山脉Kafar Kot Chashma地区晚二叠世Wargal灰岩的聚集适宜性
本研究是对Khisor Range Kafar Kot Chashma地区的晚二叠世Wargal石灰岩进行调查,以确定其在地质工程测试的帮助下作为公路建设和土木结构中使用的骨料的适用性。对Wargal石灰石样品进行地质工程测试,结果表明:损耗角磨损值(23.37%)、骨料冲击值(16.8%)、破碎值(13.1%)、单位重量(1.67)、完整性(1.007%)、比重(2.70)、吸水率(0.48%)、片状指数(6.5%)、伸长率(7.1%)、沥青涂层(> 95%)、沥青剥脱(<5%)、加州承载比(CBR)值(93.6%)、最大干密度2.307g/c,最佳含水率5.79%。根据AASHTO、ASTM、BS、NHA等不同的国际和国家标准,上述各项工程试验结果均在可容忍范围内。选取的晚二叠世Wargal灰岩岩石学结果显示,石英(0.5%)、赤铁矿/褐铁矿(0.6%)和粘土含量(1.0%)非常低,表明其ASR威胁不明显。白云石的值限制在(1%),表明与普通硅酸盐水泥没有ACR反应。研究区域的地质和工程参数结果强烈表明其适合作为道路建设中潜在的骨料(即基层,下层,水泥混凝土和沥青)。
