Title: DRYING PHASE OF SOIL-ASPHALT CONSTRUCTION
Accession Number: 00231429
Record Type: Component
Abstract: A LABORATORY STUDY WAS MADE OF THE RATE OF DRYING OF WATER AND HYDROCARBON VOLATILES FROM A SOIL-ASPHALT MIXTURE AND THE EFFECT ON THE STABILITY AND OTHER BASIC PROPERTIES OF THE COMPACTED MIXTURE. THE SOIL WAS A SANDY LOAM WITH A LIQUID LIMIT OF 21, A PI OF 5, AND A FLUFF POINT RANGE FROM 6 TO 12 PERCENT. THE ASPHALT USED AS THE STABILIZING AGENT WAS MC-3 CUTBACK. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY INDICATE THAT SOILS STABILIZED WITH CUTBACKS NEED TO BE DRIED OUT BEFORE COMPACTION TO PROVIDE HIGH INITIAL STRENGTH. AFTER COMPACTION, ADDITIONAL CURING RESULTS IN EVEN MORE STRENGTH. THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT SOIL STABILIZED WITH CUTBACK CANNOT BE COMPACTED TO A DENSITY REQUIREMENT. /AUTHOR/
