Title: PHOSPHORIC ACID IN SOIL STABILIZATION III. SOME PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Accession Number: 00231359
Record Type: Component
Abstract: OTHER EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES USED ARE DESCRIBED. THE BRABENDER PLASTOGRAPH WAS USED. IT IS A MIXING CHAMBER EQUIPPED TO MEASURE THE TORQUE ON THE MIXING SHAFT AS A FUNCTION OF TIME. PENETRATION TESTS MADE ON THE FIELD-TEST PATCHES WERE CONDUCTED WITH A SOIL TEST CN-419 PROCTOR PENETROMETER. CORROSION INHIBITORS USED WERE OBTAINED FROM SEVERAL COMPANIES. SIXTY-EIGHT TEST CYLINDERS WERE PREPARED REPRESENTING SOME 17 DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT OR MODE OF PREPARATION. MIXING ENERGY REQUIREMENTS WITH THE BRABENDER PLASTOGRAPH ARE DISCUSSED. THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING CLOSE CONTROL ON MOISTURE AS WELL AS DENSITY IS EMPHASIZED. THE EFFECT OF CORROSION INHIBITORS ON PERFORMANCE IS ANALYZED AND IT IS FOUND THAT CORROSION INHIBITORS HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON STABILIZED STRENGTH OR DRY DENSITY OF CLAY SOILS. RESULTS FOR THE PHOSPHORIC ACID TREATMENT SHOWED THAT STRAIGHT REAGENT-GRADE PHOSPHORIC ACID IS THE LEAST EFFECTIVE OF THE PHOSPHORIC ACIDS TESTED, ALTHOUGH IT IS SATISFACTORY AND GAINED STRENGTH WITH AGE, EVEN UNDER THESE EXPOSURE CONDITIONS. COSTS ARE GIVEN OF HYDROFLUORIC PHOSPHORIC ACID MIXTURE AT EQUAL PERFORMANCE LEVELS IN SILTY CLAY. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF STABILIZING CLAY SOILS WITH PHOSPHORIC ACID HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED CONCLUSIVELY. DURABILITY OF THE STABILIZED SOIL APPEARS TO BE GOOD. THIS METHODS SHOWS PROMISE OF BECOMING WIDELY ACCEPTED AS A MEANS OF STABILIZING FINE-GRAIN SOILS.
