Title: SOIL STABILIZATION WITH RESINS AND CHEMICALS
Accession Number: 00231347
Record Type: Component
Abstract: RESEARCH SPONSORED BY THE CAA ON CHEMICAL SOIL STABILIZATION IS DESCRIBED. VARIOUS ADDITIVES AND METHODS USED ARE DISCUSSED. GENERALLY, PORTLAND CEMENT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE SOIL-STABILIZING MATERIAL, BUT ITS CHARACTERISTICS COULD BE IMPROVED. A SUITABLE WATERPROOFING ADDITIVE FOR SOIL-CEMENT MIXTURES HAS NOT YET BEEN FOUND. THE RESIN FORMED BY THE INTERACTION OF TWO PARTS ANILINE AND ONE PART FURFURAL IS A VERY GOOD BONDING AGENT FOR SOIL AND THE MOST- EFFECTIVE WATERPROOFING MATERIAL STUDIED. CLACIUM ACRYLATE ACTIVATED BY SODIUM THIOSULFATE AND AMMONIUM PERSULFATE WAS FOUND TO BE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN TRANSFORMING WET, PLASTIC SOILS INTO FIRM, DURABLE STRUCTURES. OTHER RESINOUS MATERIALS HAVE SHOWN SOME PROMISE AS SOIL STABILIZERS, BUT THEIR PRINCIPLE VALUE APPEARS TO BE AS ADDITIVES TO NONCONVENTIONAL AND CHEAPER PAVING MATERIALS. RESORCINOL AND PHENOL-FORMALDEHYDE RESINS HAVE CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED THE SOIL-STABILIZING EFFECTIVENESS OF BITUMINOUS MATERIALS. SUCH MATERIALS AS CEMENT, LIME, SODIUM SILICATE, ANILINE- FURFURAL, AND CALCIUM ACRYLATE SHOW CONSIDERABLE PROMISE IN REDUCING THE PLASTICITY AND IMPROVING THE SHRINKAGE AND SWELLING CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL.
