Book excerpt: Cement-modified soil (CMS) is a soil/aggregate material that has been treated with a relatively small proportion of portland cement in order to amend its undesirable properties so that they are suitable for use in subgrade or foundation construction. This guide to CMS discusses its applications, benefits, design, construction, testing, and performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cement modification of subgrade has been widely practiced for the past few decades. Recently, cement has become a more economical binder to modify in-situ subgrade soil since other binders, such as fly ash, have become less available and therefore their prices have increased significantly. In addition, a much higher percentage of fly ash needs be used, when compared with cement to achieve the same subgrade strength and stiffness. In general, cement-modified subgrade is prone to develop shrinkage cracking, which can eventually reflect through asphalt pavement layers to the surface after construction. For some subgrade soils, a high cement content is needed to meet the unconfined compressive strength requirement without jeopardizing durability. A higher cement content will result in higher shrinkage cracking potential. To overcome this problem, a microcracking technology has been developed and adopted in the field. This technology involves re-compaction of cement-modified soil (CMS) with a roller, 24 to 48 hours after initial compaction, to induce microcracks in the CMS and minimize the potential for large shrinkage cracks. Microcracking of CMS is not expected to significantly reduce the strength and stiffness of CMS, but it is expected to increase its hydraulic conductivity and reduce the potential for large shrinkage cracks. Unfortunately, the procedure to simulate microcracking of CMS in the laboratory and to evaluate its effect on properties of CMS has not been established yet. This report documents the development of such a procedure and discusses the effect of microcracking on the properties (strength and modulus) of CMS specimens. The developed procedure utilized unconfined compression (UC) tests to generate microcracks in specimens. To generate microcracks, the loading stress level was found to be equal to the unconfined compressive strength of the CMS specimen. The laboratory results showed that microcracking increased the hydraulic conductivity of the specimen and reduced its electrical resistivity when the specimen was saturated. The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) tests conducted in the field showed that adding cement increased the subgrade modulus. However, after applying three passes of roller compaction to generate the microcracks in the CMS in the field, the subgrade modulus dropped to approximately 40% of its original value on average.

This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings on an extensive laboratory testing study to identify new approaches to improving the performance of soil-cement bases and cement-modified soils in pavements. Current soil-cement design procedures are based solely on 7-day Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) criteria, but high base strengths are no guarantee of satisfactory long-term pavement performance. In this project a laboratory study was undertaken to determine the optimal cement content for three marginal Texas base materials. Recommended cement contents are based on balancing conflicting criteria from the following four performance related tests: a) UCS, b) Shrinkage, c) Moisture susceptibility, and d) Abrasion resistance. A new test method called the Tube Suction Test (TST) is introduced for assessing the moisture susceptibility of soil-cement materials. The TST is shown to correlate well with the existing wet-dry and freeze-thaw durability tests. In addition, the effects of both the level of pulverization and the method of adding the stabilizer (dry vs. slurry) were studied. The major finding was that the properties of the CMS were strongly dependent upon the mixing procedure. The use of cement slurries produced the best lab properties. The results showed that the slurry was effective in treating soil even with slurry mixing times up to 4 hours.

This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an author with more than 25 years of field and academic experience, Soil Improvement and Ground Modification Methods explains ground improvement technologies for converting marginal soil into soil that will support all types of structures. Soil improvement is the alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Some sort of soil improvement must happen on every construction site. This combined with rapid urbanization and the industrial growth presents a huge dilemma to providing a solid structure at a competitive price. The perfect guide for new or practicing engineers, this reference covers projects involving soil stabilization and soil admixtures, including utilization of industrial waste and by-products, commercially available soil admixtures, conventional soil improvement techniques, and state-of-the-art testing methods. Conventional soil improvement techniques and state-of-the-art testing methods Methods for mitigating or removing the risk of liquefaction in the event of major vibrations Structural elements for stabilization of new or existing construction industrial waste/by-products, commercially available soil Innovative techniques for drainage, filtration, dewatering, stabilization of waste, and contaminant control and removal
