Modified compaction effort was used to determine the
maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content
(OMC) of the lateritic soil/MD blends. The modified compaction
tests were conducted by following the AASHTO T 180. LA abrasion
test was performed in accordance with ASTM C131-69 and C535-
69. LA abrasion test is the most widely specified test for evaluating
the resistance of aggregates to abrasion and impact forces
