SOIL-CEMENT AS APPLIED TO SUBGRADE STABILIZATION OF RAILROADS

The consistency of subgrade soil has a certain bearing on its tendency toward mud-pumping phenomenon. It may be considered as a most effective means of preventing puddly subgrade conditions to lower the plasticity of subgrade soil. Sand substitution for soft subgrade material has been so far resorted to on a nation-wide scale. It has been experimentally known that the plasticity of soil materially decreases when Portland cement or chemicals of some kinds are mixed with it. Such chemical process may, therefore, be turned to advantage in providing against mud pumping phenomenon of subgrade.
