INJECTION OF A LIQUID SOIL STABILIZER INTO SUBGRADE SOIL

Laboratory and field evaluations were used to determine the possible benefits obtained by injecting Condor SS, a liquid chemical stabliizer, into a clay subgrade. This project was carried out in conjunction with Product Evaluation No. 675. The investigation resulted in two contradicting results. One indication shows there was no increase in the subgrade strength as a result of injecting the subgrade with the Condor SS solution. Conversely, the commercial laboratory which determined compressive strengths of undisturbed samples taken prior to and after the injection process indicates an increase in unconfined compressive strength.
