• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to design and construct lime/fly ash stabilized base course test sections which would be economical compared to a soil cement stabilized base, utilize a recyclable material, and possibly reduce shrinkage cracking on bases and the subsequent reflective cracking of the riding surface. Satisfactory results from this project would increase confidence in the use of lime/fly ash as an alternate to cement stabilized treated base: thus resulting in greater utilization of lime/fly ash for base stabilization. Factors such as a crack mapping procedure, durability comparison between lime/fly ash and soil cement stabilized base and structural number determination for lime/fly ash bases were studied.
