Abstract:

Many areas of Louisiana consist of soils with high silt contents, low strengths, and minimal bearing capacity. Construction pavements in these soils can cause detrimental pumping action in areas with a high water table. These wet subgrades under Louisiana pavements cause both construction and performance problems. Common solutions to the problem include excavation and replacement, lime treatment, or cement stabilization. Special provisions are often included in the contract for chemical additives in lieu of undercutting. The research emphasis of this study was placed on efforts to refine the pumping problem and on the development of guidelines for identifying the problem silt-soils. Secondary importance was given to the identification of alternate methods for stabilization.
