Mechanical Stabilization
This
method
proportioning
involves
of

aggregates
correctly
and
soil,
The

Gradation
Properties of the Soil
Presence of Salts
Compaction

Mechanical Strength
When the soil is used in small proportion to
fill up the voids the crushing strength of
aggregates is important
Gradation
A well graded aggregate soil mix results in a
mix with high dry density and stability values
Properties of soil
A mix with Plasticity Index, results poor
stability under soaking conditions. Hence it is
desirable to limit the plasticity index of the soil
www.ustudy.in
Presence of Chemicals
Presence of Salts like Sulphates and mica
are undesirable
Presence of Calcium Chloride is Beneficial
Compaction
Effective Compaction is desirable to
produce high density and stability mix

Cement
A increase in cement content
generally causes increase in strength and

durability
Compaction
By increasing the amount of compaction dry
density of the mix, strength and durability
also increases
www.ustudy.in
Curing
Adequate Moisture content is to be retained
in
order to accelerate the strength
Additives
There are some additives to improve
properties
Lime
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium Carbonate
Calcium Chloride

Type of Lime
After long curing periods all types of limes
produce same effects. However quick lime
has been found more effective than hydrated
lime
Calcium Carbonate must be heated at higher
temperature to form Quick lime calcium
oxide( CaO)
Calcium oxide must be slaked ( by the
addition of water) to form Hydrated lime
Compaction
Compaction is done at OMC and maximum
dry density.
www.ustudy.in
Curing
The strength of soil-lime increases with
curing
period upto several years. The rate of
increase is rapid during initial period
The humidity of the surroundings also
affects the strength
Additives
Sodium metasilicate, Sodium hydroxide and
Sodium Sulphate are also found useful

additives
Soil- Bituminous
Stabilization
Types of Bitumen
Amount of Mixing
Increasing proportion of bitumen causes a
decrease in dry density but increases the
stability after a certain bitumen content
The optimum bitumen content for maximum
stability generally ranges from 4 to 6%
Mixing
Improved type of mixing with low mixing
period
may be preferred
www.ustudy.in
Compaction
Effective Compaction results higher
stability and resistance to absorb
water
Additives
Anti stripping and reactive chemical
additives have been tried to
improve the properties of the mixes
Portland cement can also be used
along with the soil bitumen
