In water bound macadam roads, binding material is Brick dust.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during an interview.The question is from Reports on Estimate for the Construction of Road and Irrigation Channel in chapter Valuation, Reports Technical and Design Data of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer»

Right answer is (b) False

Easy explanation: Stone dust is like a DARKER, coarser version of sand. It is a byproduct of running stones through a crushing machine to make crushed stone. Its EXACT composition will obviously DEPEND on what kind of stone was run through the machine. For instance, sometimes granite is run through such a machine; in other cases, it could be limestone, for EXAMPLE. The machine has a screen that traps the larger material (that is, the crushed stone). The smaller material or “screenings” falls through the screen. Depending on the size of the holes in the screen USED, it can be so fine in texture that it is basically a powder.
