USE OF CEMENT KILN DUST IN STABILIZING CLAY SOILS

This report contains current information on the use of cement kiln dust (CKD), both exclusively, and in combination with other stabilizing materials such as lime, portland cement, and fly ash in stabilizing clay soils. The data on the type and level of CKD additions and the resulting engineering properties of the modified clay soils such as unconfined compressive strengths, Proctor moisture-density relationships, California bearing ratios (CBR), liquid- and plastic-limits, swelling, shrinkage, and permeability characteristics are documented. The informational gaps are identified and needed additional work is recommended.
