Abstract:

CLAY CONTENT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING THE STABILITY OF SUBGRADE SOILS. MIXTURES OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF MATERIALS HAVE BEEN USED TO STABILIZE CLAY SOILS. REPORTS ON THESE EXPERIMENTS INDICATE THAT FINELY GROUND MATERIALS SUCH AS HYDRATED LIME AND PORTLAND CEMENT ARE NOT AS EFFICIENT FOR THIS PURPOSE AS COURSER GRANULAR MATERIALS OF THE CHARACTER OF SAND AND STONE SCREENING. NEED FOR A UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION OF SUBGRADE SOILS AND ADOPTION OF STANDARD METHODS OF LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTS IS EMPHASIZED.
