Abstract


The main problem related to gravelled roads is their dustability during the warm season of the year. Bituminous emulsion and calcium chloride are among the most popular and widespread materials used to reduce dustiness in Lithuania. The article presents the findings obtained from the investigation of gravelled road No. 2517 Veisiejai–Viktarinas–Paliepiai sections treated with calcium chloride. It was established that the efficiency of calcium chloride used for reducing dust on gravelled roads ranged from 15 to 45 % depending on various conditions.
