Abstract

The problems of laboratory compaction procedures, the effect of gradation and mineralogy on shearing strength, and effect of stabilizing agents on shearing strength of granular base course mixes are discussed. For the materials tested, a suitable laboratory compaction procedure was developed which involves the use of a vibratory table to prepare triaxial test specimens. A computer program has been developed to facilitate the analysis of the test data of the effect of gradation and mineralogy on shearing strength of soils. The effects of the following materials have been selected for evaluation as stabilizing agents’ portland cement, sodium and calcium chloride, lime organic cationic waterproofer, and asphaltic materials.
