Abstract:
The engineering properties of soil subgrade layer need to be improved to make soil good for construction by using stabilization method. Two subgrade soils were stabilized by using Portland cement and lime admixtures. The complete work was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the subgrade strength and the cost effectiveness of stabilizer usage. After variation of cement and lime, from percent to percent, stabilized samples were prepared at their maximum dry densities and optimum moisture contents. They were cured and tested for evaluating its durability, volume, moisture content and change in moisture characteristics, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio (CBR).The result obtained show that cement treated soils satisfy the durability criteria recommended by the Portland cement Association (PCA) at about percent and percent cement content respectively. Both the soil fail to satisfy the unconfined compressive strength criteria of PCA for cement content at which the durability criteria is satisfied. Unconfined compressive strengths of lime treated soils increase due to addition of lime. The CBR value increases at an increasing rate for higher cement contents. This Value increases slightly after addition of lime. A correlation between Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) and CBR was developed in order to provide a quick evaluation technique of compacted subgrade. It is to be found that the construction of pavement on a stabilized subgrade will be economical than that of untreated subgrade.
