| Abstract: | This study examined the preliminary assessment of Iron Ore Tailings (IOT) stabilized with Quarry Fines and cement for road pavement construction. As a result, index properties and compaction tests of the IOT were prepared with 0,5,10,15 and 20% Quarry fines and 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% cement and evaluated. The results indicate that the materials fall short of standard in gradation, the IOT and Quarry Fines were found to have specific gravity of 3.68 and 2.53 respectively. The mixtures were found to be non – plastic (NP). From compaction, it was observed that the optimum moisture content reduces with increase in cement from 18 to 6% whereas the maximum dry densities increased from 2.07 to 2.42g/cm3 with increase in cement content. |
