Abstract - India is a vast Country, the economic prosperity

of the country depends upon its products and economic transportation to the marketing centres. The roads also play an important role in the defence of our country as well as in cultural progress. India is a country of village, but more attention is given to the roads of national importance than the village roads. .As compared to density of population the road density is less. India’s is village country due to more attention on national highway .The village roads are not well developing as compare to density of population. In India the density of road network are very less due to some financial, political & required time consuming reasons therefore we have to introduce our research which include that the thickness of the rigid pavement are reduces & with also cost & Time has less reduce. According to above information we have construct the some specimen(1:3)Proportion in three different sizes & conduct compression & flexural test on that specimen & compare to conventional concrete pavement (M40 Grade) using in rigid pavement The sizes of specimen are given, (1) 900x 250x 75 mm, (2) 900 x 250 x 100mm, (3) 900 x 250 x 125mm, for flexural test & 150 x 150 x 150 mm cube for compression test & also conduct various tests on materials such as workability, compaction factor, sieves analysis, impact value test consistency test. Artificial sand term used for aggregate material less than 4.75mm and which are processed from crushed rocks or gravel. Due to booming of construction activity in our country natural sand resource are increasingly depleted and its cost is becoming increasingly high. This research was, there for conducted to study the influence that artificial sand have in compressive strength of concrete to compare the cost of different mix composition and to assess the prospect of using artificial sand as replacement of natural sand in India. Initially, different natural sand and artificial sand sample is used in the concrete mixes were collected and their physical properties were studied. Different concrete mixes having mix proportion for both natural and artificial sand as a fine aggregate were prepared using a water cement ratio is 0.45 It has been found also that use of artificial sand is more suitable for high strength concrete production. Therefore, It can be concluded from the finding of this research that when that availability of natural sand is scarce or in cities where the price of natural sand is as expensive as manufactured one, artificial sand concrete mix is a viable and better alternative to the use of natural sand Š 2017, IRJET

1. INTRODUCTION Transportation Engineering is a branch or basic area of civil engineering which deals with design, development construction and maintenance of roadway, railways, airports, harbors, docks, tunnels and bridges. In short, it is the technology by which a proper communication facility is planned, designed and constructed for easy transport of human being and goods from one place to another.

1.1 NECESSITY OF TRANSPORTATION: Transportation is the means to carry people and goods from one place to another. This has become very important in each stage of human civilization. If the present means of transportation were not developed, situation of the world would be totally different. Transportation has contributed much to the development of economic, social, political and cultural fields and uplifting their condition. Speedy industrialization is impossible without development of transportation. It is unavoidably necessary to promote transport system for the proper development of agricultural sector and rural areas. Without development of transportation neither mass production nor distribution is possible.

1.2 RIGID PAVEMENT : Road construction is the major activity in India which is one of the important factors for nation’s growth and improvement. To increase the growth of nation various techniques are develop in construction of roads. This study include introduction of rigid pavement with Partial replacement of sand by artificial sand in Ferrocement which is one of advanced technique to construct road pavement. Therefore now, Introduce new topic name is Partial replacement of sand by artificial sand in Ferrocement used in road pavement What is Ferrocement: The concept of the ferrocement is a system of reinforced mortar (cement, sand and water) applied over layers of metal such as chicken wire or woven or expanded metal (iron) mesh or fibers and possibly closely spaced small-diameter steel rods such as rebar. It is used to ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
