SOIL STABILIZATION FOR LOW-VOLUME ROADS. VOLUME 3 - ROAD BUILDER'S GUIDE. PHASE II - FINAL REPORT

Volumes 1 and 2 of this report are guide booklets for administrators and road engineers respectively. Volume 3, contained herein, is a guide booklet for road builders. 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 of this report documents the use and cost benefits of the above referenced four soil stabilization treatments used in the construction of low-volume roads. Volume 3 addresses each important topic the road builder should know about stabilizing soils. The topics reviewed in this booklet include drainage requirements, soil and additive measurements, soils, stabilizer selection, climate, construction, and maintenance of stabilized soil roads.
