Test Study on Road Performance of Soils Stabilized by Liquid Stabilizer in Seasonally Frozen Regions

Article Preview

Abstract:

In seasonally frozen regions, road construction often suffers from low strength,lack of durability, etc. Improving the typical clay’s workability in Changchun with lime and the Base-Seal stabilizer (BS-100) shows promising results. A comprehensive investigation to assess the soil characteristics influence is undertaken, so as the lime and liquid stabilizer (BS-100) content on the physical properties of stabilized soils in seasonally frozen regions. The optimum mix proportions, unconfined compressive strength, splitting strength, modulus of resilience, freeze-thaw action, water resistance and penetration-resistance were outlined. By comparing with current specifications, the Base-Seal stabilized soil as base material has higher early strength, higher after-strength and better frost stability.The results can be applied in road construction in seasonally frozen regions.
