• Abstract:
  "Considerable data exists for soils that were tested and documented, both for native properties and ; properties with pozzolan stabilization. While the data exists there was no database for the Nebraska ; Department of Roads to retrieve this data for predicting soil properties. The conventional methods ; used to determine soil properties, such as maximum laboratory density and optimum moisture content, ; were tedious, labor intensive and time consuming. When soil stabilization is involved, more time and ; efforts are needed to determine maximum laboratory density, optimum moisture content and optimum ; pozzolan content. The objective of this project was to develop a computerized model to predict the soil ; properties of a given GI soil type using additives for soil stabilization. The model is able to predict the ; maximum laboratory density and optimum moisture content of native soil. Additionally the model can ; determine an optimum pozzolan percentage of soil stabilization."
