Laboratory investigation of soil-aggregate-cement mixture

Cement stabilization improves physical and mechanical properties of geotechnical materials. However, numerous combinations materials cement hinder to establish a pattern behavior cement-stabilized Thus, this study aims evaluate the soil-aggregate-cement mixtures (SAC) using high early-strength (HE), contribute dosage aspects ascertain their recommendation as base and/or subbase layers in heavy very volume roads. For this, SAC composed different proportions soil aggregate (20:80 30:70) with 3, 5 7% were produced cured at times (0, 7 28 days). Mechanical assessed terms unconfined compressive strength (UCS), indirect tensile (ITS) resilient modulus by repeated load triaxial test ( ) dynamic ). A compared strengths acting stresses computed mechanistic analysis hypothetical pavements. This same procedure was also used for verifying possibility anticipating construction phases reducing traffic opening time, case mixture Portland composite (PCC) evaluated. Results indicated that SAC-20:80 presented better than SAC-30:70. Also, content led best 5%. All 5% HE had higher interval reached, 3 days curing, respectively, 80% 60% 28-days strength, which is control parameter Sao Paulo-DOT instructions SAC. Findings that, due good behavior, are viable alternatives Additionally, SAC’s earlier curing have shown potential reduce time.
