UTILIZATION OF WASTE BOILER ASH IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION IN ARIZONA. PART II. SOIL STABILIZATION

Waste fly ash is produced by several coal-fired power generating plants in and adjacent to Arizona. A literature search, laboratory test program and analysis of test data indicate that available fly ashes can be advantageously used in lime-fly ash soil mixtures for highway construction. Unconfined, compressive strength, and freeze-thaw and wet-dry durability are included in the development of a mix design procedure aimed at optimizing the proportions of fly ash and lime.
