Cinder Coal-Aggregate Quality Index (AQI) Appraisal Based on Weighted Arithmetic Index Method and Fuzzy Logic
Strength is a major criterion for aggregates which are used in the design of a flexible pavement structure. So, an engineer assumes a certain degree of responsibility for each material to be used, so it is the duty of the engineers in the field to validate the materials by regular tests. The quality of the materials used plays a key role in determining the strength and durability of the infrastructure projects. As flexible pavement contains number of layers among them the surface course being the highest load-bearing layer in the flexible pavement, material like cinder coal is tested for the same. The representation of all the quality indicators added in a single form is called ‘quality index’ which makes it easy to obtain the composite influence of all the quality parameters in that system and also helps to compare the general quality of the aggregate with a unit value. The quality of aggregates was determined by using weighted arithmetic index method and fuzzy approach to judge its potentiality for the surface course. Crushed stone aggregate and cinder coal materials were been used to compare the feasibility for the desired application. Cinder coal is an industrial by-product which is obtained from combustion of coal. Tests were conducted to determine the physical properties of aggregates and cinder coal, and the obtained results were used for calculating the quality index. From this study, it was observed that cinder coal has a net fuzzy value of ‘86%’, which indicates ‘unfit’, whereas for conventional aggregate (crushed stone), it is ‘30.75%’, which indicates ‘good’ for the surface course. Fuzzy value is used to characterize and disseminate uncertainties and inaccuracies in data and functional relationships.
