Abstract:

One solution to reducing the cost of importing gravel in areas where available soils are predominately silts and ; sands is to stabilize the local soils with geofibers and synthetic fluids. There have been several studies which ; have evaluated improvements in soil strength using geofibers. Laboratory work at the Alaska University ; Transportation Center has shown that the use of geofibers in combination with synthetic fluids has the potential ; to stabilize silts and sands, making them usable for roadway and airport construction. A test 500 foot test section ; was constructed on Horseshoe Lake Road, near Wasilla, Alaska. The test section was comprised of 250 feet ; using six inches of geofiber and Soil-Sement® and 250 feet using twelve inches of geofiber and Soil-Sement®. ; The test section was monitored over 16 months for performance and soil strength. Overall the test section has ; performed well.
