Influence of Layered Materials on Properties of Cement Stabilized Macadam
Abstract:
To reduce shrinkage cracks of cement stabilized macadam base and prolong the life span of pavement, layered materials were mixed in cement stabilized macadam to improve its strength properties and crack resistance. In comparison with the blank test, the unconfined compressive strength increases with the addition of layered materials (weighed at 10% of the amount of cement), by 11.6% with palygorskite, 12.7% with kaolin and 8.9% with montmorillonite, respecetively, at the curing age of 28 days; dry-shrinkage coefficient reduces by 28.2% with palygorskite, 19.0% with kaolin and 14.2% with montmorillonite after 48 days, respecetively. Microstructure of cement pastes mixed with layered materials were observed by scanning electronic microscope. The result shows that more fibrous hydration products and a net-like microstructure exist in cement pastes with palygorskite. It may explain the maximum decrease in shrinkage cracks of palygorskite-mixed cement stabilized macadam.
