Structural Support of Lime or Cement Stabilized Subgrade Used with Flexible Pavements
Lime or cement stabilizations have been used to modify wet and soft roadbed soils so that the roadbed can carry the load of construction vehicles without excessive rutting. Lime stabilization is recommended for fine-grained and high plasticity soils, and cement stabilization is recommended for coarse-grained and low plasticity soils. The durability and structural benefits of the stabilized roadbed soils have been investigated in this study through four tasks. First, the in-situ conditions of stabilized subgrade were investigated using the Dynamic Cone Pentrometer (DCP) test. The results show that the moduli of stabilized soils are generally higher than non-stabilized soils several years after construction. The second task investigated the durability and strength characteristics of stabilized soils through laboratory tests. Unconfined compressive strength, California Bearing Ratio, and resilient modulus of stabilized soils are all higher than non-stabilized soils. After freezing and thawing cycles, the stabilized soils retain more strength and modulus than the non-stabilized soils. The third task evaluated the conditions of 4 test sections on State Route 2 in Erie County, with subgrade stabilized with 6% cement, 5% lime, 3% lime with 3% cement, respectively, and a control section with no stabilization.
