Soil Stabilization

The soil stabilization means the improvement ofstability or bearing power of the soil by the use of

controlled compaction, proportioning and/or the

addition of suitable admixture or stabilizers.

Basic Principles of Soil Stabilization.

Evaluating the properties of given soil Deciding the lacking property of soil and chooseeffective and economical method of soil stabilization

Designing the Stabilized soil mix for intended stabilityand durability values


3/75

Need for Soil Stabilization

Limited Financial Resources to Provide acomplete network Road System to buildin conventional method

Effective utilization of locally availablesoils and other suitable stabilizing agents.

Encouraging the use of IndustrialWastages in building low cost constructionof roads.

Methods of Soil Stabilization

Mechanical StabilizationSoil Cement Stabilization

Soil Lime StabilizationSoil Bitumen Stabilization Lime Fly ash Stabilization Lime Fly ash Bound Macadam.


5/75

Mechanical Stabilization

This method is suitable for low volume roadsi.e. Village roads in low rainfall areas.

This method involves the correctlyproportioning of aggregates and soil,adequately compacted to get mechanicallystable layer

The Basic Principles of Mechanical Stabilizationare Correct Proportioning and EffectiveCompaction


6/75

Desirable Properties of Soil-

Aggregate Mix Adequate Strength

Incompressibility

Less Changes in Volume

Stability with Variation in water content

Good drainage, less frost Susceptibility

Ease of Compaction.


7/75

Factors Affecting Mechanical

Stabilization

Mechanical Strength of aggregates

Gradation Properties of the Soil

Presence of Salts

Compaction


8/75

Mechanical Strength

When the soil is used in small proportion to fill

up the voids the crushing strength of aggregatesis important

Gradation

A well graded aggregate soil mix results in a mixwith high dry density and stability values

Properties of soil

A mix with Plasticity Index, results poor stabilityunder soaking conditions. Hence it is desirable tolimit the plasticity index of the soil


9/75

Presence of Chemicals Presence of Salts like Sulphates and mica

are undesirable

Presence of Calcium Chloride is Beneficial

Compaction

Effective Compaction is desirable to

produce high density and stability mix


10/75

Soil Cement Stabilization

Soil Cement is an intimate mix of soil,cement and water, compacted to form astrong base course

Cement treated or cement modified soilrefers to the compacted mix when cement isused in small proportions to impart some

strength Soil Cement can be used as a sub-base or

base course for all types of Pavements

Factors affecting soil cement stabilization

Soil

THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Particle Size Distribution

Clay content

Specific Surface

Liquid limit and Plasticity Index

Cement

A increase in cement content generally

causes increase in strength anddurability


13/75

Pulverisation and Mixing Better the Pulverisation and degree of mixing,

higher is the strength

Presence of un pulverised dry lumps reducesthe strength

Compaction

By increasing the amount of compaction drydensity of the mix, strength and durability alsoincreases


14/75

Curing

Adequate Moisture content is to be retained in

order to accelerate the strength

Additives

There are some additives to improve properties

Lime

Sodium hydroxide Sodium Carbonate

Calcium Chloride


15/75

Design of SoilCement Mix

Soil Cement specimens are prepared withvarious cement contents in constant volumesmoulds

The compressive strength of these specimenstested after 7 days of curing

A graph is plotted Cement content Vs

compressive strength

The Cement Content Corresponding to astrength of 17.5 kg/cm2 is taken as design

cement content


16/75

Soil Lime Stabilization

Soil- Lime has been widely used as a

modifier or a binder

Soil-Lime is used as modifier in high plasticity

soils

Soil Lime also imparts some binding action

even in granular soils


17/75

Soil-Lime is effectively used in Expansivesoils with high plasticity index.


18/75

Factors affecting Properties of Soil-Lime

Lime Content

Generally increase in lime content causesslight change in liquid limit and considerableincrease in Plasticity index

The rate of increase is first rapid and then

decreases beyond a certain limit

The point is often termed as lime fixationpoint

This is considered as design lime content


19/75

Type of Lime

After long curing periods all types of limesproduce same effects. However quick limehas been found more effective thanhydrated lime

Calcium Carbonate must be heated at highertemperature to form Quick lime calciumoxide( CaO)

Calcium oxide must be slaked ( by the

addition of water) to form Hydrated lime

Compaction Compaction is done at OMC and maximum

dry density.


20/75

Curing

The strength of soil-lime increases with curingperiod upto several years. The rate ofincrease is rapid during initial period

The humidity of the surroundings also affectsthe strength

Additives

Sodium metasilicate, Sodium hydroxide and

Sodium Sulphate are also found usefuladditives


21/75

Soil- Bituminous Stabilization

The Basic Principles of this stabilization areWater Proofing and Binding

By Water Proofing inherent strength and

other properties could be retained

Most Commonly used materials are Cutbackand Emulsion

Bitumen Stabilized layer may be used as

Sub-base or base course for all the roads


22/75

Factors affecting properties of soil-bitumen

Soil

The particle size, shape and gradation of thesoil influence the properties of the soil-bitumemix.

Types of Bitumen

Cutbacks of higher grade should be preferred

Emulsions generally gives slightly inferiorresults than Cutback.


23/75

Amount of Mixing

Increasing proportion of bitumen causes adecrease in dry density but increases thestability after a certain bitumen content

The optimum bitumen content for maximumstability generally ranges from 4 to 6%

Mixing

Improved type of mixing with low mixing period

may be preferred


24/75

Compaction

Effective Compaction results higherstability and resistance to absorb water

Additives Anti stripping and reactive chemical

additives have been tried to improve the

properties of the mixes Portland cement can also be used along with

the soil bitumen

Ideally suited as backfill material for urban/

industrial areas and areas with weak sub soils Higher shear strength leads to greater

stability

Design is similar to earth embankments

Intermediate soil layers for ease ofconstruction and to provide confinement

Side slope erosion needs to be controlled byproviding soil cover

Can be compacted under inclement weatherconditions
