Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of cement stabilized bases was collected from a number of highway construction projects in Thailand. Results from the statistical analysis indicated that the most important factors affecting the UCS were the CBR and the water to cement ratio. The UCS was however independent on the dry density. A statistical model was developed in the study to predict the UCS of cement stabilized bases. A model was developed based on the following criteria: (1) the dry density of the sample shall be greater than 95 percent of the maximum dry density based on the modified Proctor compaction, (2) samples shall be soaked for at least 2 h prior to testing, and (3) the CBR shall be measured at 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) penetration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
