BEHAVIOR OF STABILIZED SOILS UNDER REPEATED LOADING. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CEMENT-STABILIZED SOIL LAYERS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO PAVEMENT DESIGN

Properties of cement-stabilized soils were evaluated for determining the validity of existing theory for prediction of pavement behavior and developing criteria and procedure for designing pavements containing soil layers stabilized with small amounts of cement. Field test sections of three different thicknesses were constructed of Vicksburg silty clay stabilized with 3%, 6% and 10% cement contents on a heavy clay subgrade prepared to California Bearing Ratio values of 4 and 10, and tested under 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000-lb single-wheel loads.
