SOIL STABILIZATION FOR LOW-VOLUME ROADS. VOLUME 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. PHASE II - FINAL REPORT

Volume 1, contained herein, is an Executive Summary for administrators to provide help in understanding the factors involved in using soil stabilization for low-volume roads. The decision making factors such as traffic, soils, climate, stabilizer selection, design procedures, construction equipment, and quality control have been outlined. Volumes 2 and 3 are guide booklets for road engineers and road builders respectively. These guide booklets were developed to provide information on the use of four stabilization treatments, i.e., lime, asphalt, cement, and lime-fly ash in the construction of low-volume roads. Volume 4 documents the use and cost-benefits of these four stabilization treatments used in the construction of low-volume roads.
