Abstract:

A global chemical stabilization design is recently ; adopted by the Ohio Department of Transportation ; (ODOT). This produces performance and economic ; benefits in providing pavement with a rugged base ; supporting. Given the large quantities of lime required ; for implementing a global soil stabilization, it is the ; interest of transportation agencies if inexpensive sources ; of soil stabilizer can be utilized for subgrade ; stabilization. One potential resource can be utilized is ; the lime sludge produced from drinking water plants. ; The purpose of this study is to conduct pilot experiments ; to assess the feasibility of lime sludge for subgrade ; stabilization. The study focused on the feasibility of ; using lime sludge as a substitute of regular lime used in ; road construction, design issues such as method of lime ; sludge introduction, the optimum content of lime sludge ; and the long term performance, etc. Special local issues ; such as freezing-thawing durability were investigated for ; implementing in Ohio.
