Calcretes are widely distributed in the arid and semi-arid tracts of t
he Thar Desert. Strategically important roads of this desert region ne
ed a suitable, locally available paving material. Mineralogy, physical
and geotechnical properties of calcretes indicate their suitability f
or road pavements.
