Title: SOIL STABILIZATION IN PAVEMENT STRUCTURES, A USER'S MANUAL. VOLUME II: MIXTURE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. IMPLEMENTATION PACKAGE
Abstract: The primary purpose of this manual is to provide background information for those engineers responsibe for utilizing soil stabilization as an integral part of a pavement structure. Information is included which will allow the pavement design engineer to determine the thickness of stabilized layer(s) for a pavement in a specific climate and subjected to definable highway traffic. The construction engineer will find information on quality control, specifications, and construction sequences. The materials engineer is provided with information that will allow the determination of the type and amount of stabilizers that are suitable for a particular soil. The manual has not been written to endorse one type of a chemical stabilizer over another, nor is it intended to provide the specific features of one manufacturer's products. Rather, it explains the general characteristics of chemical soil stabilization and offers a method for evaluating the benefits of chemical stabilization versus the conventional mechanical stabilization operations.
