Title: Application of lime stabilized soil to highway construction
Abstract: Two testing methods of mix design of lime stabilized soil have been explained in details as follows: (1) determination of the lime percentage to be added to the soil by plastic index of the soil;(2) determination of the minimum lime percentage to be added by pH of the lime stabilized soil.The UCS test,whose result shall meet the requirements of the specification,has to be carried out upon confirmation of the minimum lime quantity.In view of the shortage of natural granular material in most parts of China, the high construction cost resulting from material transportation for base(non-high class highway) and subbase course,and the fact that the rigidity and distribution load capacity of lime stabilized soil are relatively higher than the granular subbase material,promotion of the application of lime stabilized soil in base and subbase course is of great significance in overcoming construction difficulty and reducing construction cost.
