Stabilization of Soil and Aggregate Materials for Forward Area Operations.

Abstract

The purpose of this instruction report is to provide information for the use of native soil and aggregate materials for the expedient construction of roads, airfields, heliports, and storage areas in forward areas of a theater of operations (TO). Procedures are presented to aid the military engineer in evaluation or identification of the soil and in selecting methods of improving the existing physical properties of the native materials so that they will be suitable for construction purposes. Also, the procedures will help the engineer select the type and quantity of additive required if chemical stabilization is used.
