THE FRENCH TECHNICAL GUIDE ON SOIL STABILISATION WITH LIME AND HYDRAULIC BINDERS

The technical guide, published in January 200, comprises three sections. The first part presents general notions relative to full treatment with fine and/or hydraulic binders. It covers presentations of: the mode of action of the different products on the various types of soils; the methodology to be followed for the field and laboratory investigations at project level; general aspects of quality assurance. The second part elaborates aspects which are specific application of soil treatment to road embarkments. It considers two types of main objectives: the re-use of soils with too high water content at the time of the works in order to be used as it is; and, the construction of some particular zones of embankments for which durable mechanical characteristics are looked for. The third part considers successively the project investigations, the techniques and equipment for soil treatment and quality assurances for these applications.
