1、SUBGRADE STABILISATION USING CHEMICAL AGENTSTao Wang 11616947Zheng Liu 11882952JingWei LI 11588035Han Zhang 11539044 IntroductionThe subgrade is the in situ material upon which the pavement structure is placed.Subgrade performance generally depends on two characteristics, load bearing capacity and v

2、olume change.Poor subgrade can not be avoided in most cases. As poor subgrade, such as soft soil, can not provide enough load bearing capacity for pavement structure, it could cause deformation.Pavement Failure from unstable soils Two ApproachRemoval and ReplacementPoor subgrade soil can be removed

3、and replaced with stronger materials.Using chemical agentsStabilizing the subgrade with an appropriate chemical stabilizer( such as lime, cement and fly ash）increase subgrade stiffness and reduces expansion tendencies.

4、gents What is limeLime has been used as a stabilizing agent for problematic soil since the 1930s in the southern of the USA.Lime include quicklime (calcium oxide CaO), hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide CaOH2), and lime slurry.Quicklime is manufactured by chemically transforming calcium carbonate (lim

5、estome CaCO3) into calcium oxide.Hydrated lime is created when quicklime chemically reacts with water. Lime Treatment how it workDryingIf quicklime is used, it immediately hydrate and release heat. It will reduce the soils moisture holding capacity, because the quicklime can react with the water fro

6、m soil.ModificationAfter initial mixing, the calcium ions will migrate to the surface of the clay and displace water and other ions. The Plasticity Index of the soil will decrease dramatically.StabilizationThe calcium will react with silica and alumina to form calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH) and calc

Highly plastic clays are most effectively stabilized with lime.Portland Cement StabiliserThe Port

10、land cement stabiliser is suitable for gravel soils which have maximum 45 precents of soils aggregates larger than 4 sieve, and the soil plasticity index should be less than 20. Commonly for the road pavement subgrade construction, the cements setting time should be less than 2 hours. Cement kiln du
