CACL BASE STABILIZATION PROLONGS LIFE, STUDY SHOWS

Findings of a research study show that liquid calcium chloride strengthened reclaimed roads by 12% and base duurability by 24% to 36%. The 1989 study attempted to determine the effect of in-place (full-depth base) reclamation, or road recycling, and calcium chloride stabilization on a typical low volume road pavement structure and subgrade soil. It compared 2 road sections: one with a reclaimed base stabilized with liquid calcuim chloride, against a reclaimed control section without the material. The details of the study and the recycling process are described.
