Behavior of Stabilized Soils under Repeated Loading. Report 5. Performance Evaluation of Cement-Stabilized Soil Layers and Its Relationship to Pavement Design.

Abstract

Properties of cement-stabilized soils were interrelated, and the performance of field sections previously tested (1963-1964) at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, Mississippi, was evaluated for the purposes of determining the validity of existing theory for prediction of pavement behavior and developing criteria and procedure for designing pavements containing soil layers stabilized with small amounts of cement. Field test sections of three different thicknesses were constructed of Vicksburg silty clay stabilized with 3%, 6%, and 10% cement contents on a heavy clay subgrade prepared to CBR values of 4 and 10, and tested under 10,000, 25,000, and 50,000-pound single-wheel loads. A failure criterion was defined according to rut depth, and the equivalency of different wheel loads (in terms of damage caused to the pavement) was determined. (Author)
