Road Performance Test and Application of TerraZyme Solidification Soil

Abstract:

TerraZyme is a completely different and new material for constructing road compared to the traditional road construction materials. Through the indoor and field tests of TerraZyme solidification soil, the road performance (e.g., unconfined compression strength, CBR value，modulus of resilience, hydraulic conductivity etc) of TerraZyme solidification soil was analyzed systematically. Meanwhile, the changing patterns in the case of various construction technology and different maintenance conditions were discussed. Then, the quality control index and measure for construction were presented. By validating the adaptability of TerraZyme solidification technology in engineering practice, it showed that the technology of TerraZyme solidification soil have many advantages such as no pollution, simple and convenient construction, higher solidified strength, good water stability and lower cost. Therefore, it can be broadly popularized and applied in the engineering practice.
