Analysis of Durability and Strength of Cement Treated Soils for Sub-Base and Base Layers of Pavement

Abstract

Replacement of natural aggregates with moderately cement treated soil in sub-base and base layers is identified to be prevailing construction practice in low volume roads. However, robustunderstanding of strength and durability characteristics of these soil-cement moderately treatedlayers is considered to be significant prerequisite. Numerous studies were carried out on conventional strength properties of soil-cement treatment in subgrade and granular layers. Limited studies were reported on understanding the durable performance of these mix material under the influence of vehicular transient loadings, and environmental loadings
