Progress in Surface and Subgrade Stabilization

چکیده
Another larger structure which is somewhat unusual is a 54-foot oolitic limestone arch bridge, carrying a stabilized gravel road 22 feet wide with a five-foot sidewalk on one side. This bridge spans McCormick's Creek a few hundred feet above the falls and carries the picnic ground road from the hotel to the Beech Grove area. This structure was built by the CCC camp which was located there for a two-year period.

Stabilization of Subgrade Soil for Highway by Recycled Polyester Fiber
Subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (PET) bottles produced by household sectors. This research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and California Bearing Ratio...
متن کاملImpact of bio-fuel co-product modified subgrade on flexible pavement performance
This study explored the feasibility of lignin based biofuel co-product (BCP) for subgrade soil stabilization, and more specifically, its impact on Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement performance using the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The HMA pavement systems with BCP stabilized subgrade under different traffic and climate conditions were modeled using mechanistic based damage...
متن کاملUtilization of Soil Stabilization with Cement and Copper Slag as Subgrade Materials in Road Embankment Construction
In this study, unconfined compression tests have been conducted to investigate the impacts of copper slag on mechanical characteristics for stabilized cement and un-stabilized soil. Dozens of specimens were prepared at four percentages of cement (i.e. 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) and five percentages of copper slag (i.e. 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight of dry soil. The samples compacted into a cylind...
متن کاملImprovement of Kaolinite Clay Subgrade Using Coir Fiber Waste
Abstract-Since highways are widely used modes, it is necessary that it should be maintained properly. Subgrade being the support for the whole pavement, it needs the utmost care in its construction. Many suggestions have been put forward by various scientists to improve the subgrade. The usually adopted methods are stabilization methods. This paper deals with the improvement of properties of ka...
متن کاملSimplified, Rational Approach to Falling Weight Deflectometer Data Interpretation
The authors present a simple elastostatic approach to estimate a suitable subgrade modulus from falling weight deflectometer (FWD) data. An effective surface modulus is defined on the basis of Boussinesq-Newmark equations. Deviations between the model assumptions and actual in situ conditions are reflected in the effective surface modulus variation with radius. The variation indicates which sen...
