SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE FROM SOIL CEMENT

TWO SOILS WERE SELECTED BY THE ALABAMA STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT FOR THIS RESEARCH. THE COGDELL SOIL WAS MIXED WITH 8, 10, 12, 14 AND 16% CEMENT AND TESTED IN COMPRESSION TO DETERMINE THE PERCENT OF CEMENT REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A SATISFACTORY SOIL-CEMENT SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE. THE SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE WAS MIXED WITH THE MITYLENE SOIL IN VARIOUS PERCENTAGES AND TESTED FOR CBR VALUES TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AGGREGATE AS A STABILIZER. ALTHOUGH THIS RESEARCH IS LIMITED TO TWO SOILS IT INDICATES THAT SATISFACTORY BASE MIXES CAN BE PRODUCED USING SOIL-CEMENT AS A STABILIZER, BUT IT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO PELLETIZE IT OR PRODUCE IT AS AN AGGREGATE. /AUTHOR/
