• Abstract:
  This report is an evaluation of the recently developed "Louisiana Slope Value Method". ; The conclusion drawn are based on data from 637 separate samples representing nearly all major soil groups in Louisiana that are suitable for cement stabilization. ; These data show that more than 92 percent of all cement contents recommended were within plus or minus 2 percent cement of the cement contents called for by the Wetting-Drying test. It was also demonstrated that in most cases greater repeatability was obtained with the Louisiana Slope Value Method than with the Wetting-Drying test. ; Normal testing time for the "Louisiana Slope Value Method" is about eight days which is about one-fourth the time required for the Wetting-Drying test. Testing for the Louisiana Slope Value Method is easy to perform and use of the developed correlation curves and tables is simple and rapid.
