Abstract:

A variety of non-traditional soil and aggregate stabilizers are presently ,-- -- ~ available on the market. Attractions of these materials include ready availability, concentrated forms for minimum shipping cost, and low cost in-place mixing operations not requiring special and extensive equipment spreads. However, the short and long term benefits of these materials are not known or quantified, the various soils and environments under which the various materials would provide the best service is not known, the nature of the materials and the mechanism of their contribution is not clearly understood, and specifications for design and construction are not available. Users have needed a systematic, independent assessment of these non-standard-stabilization materials. In response, this study has provided over 160 miles of test and demo sections on more than 60 projects across the U.S. Stabilizer types included three pozzolans, four bioenzymes, two sulfonated oils, an ammonium chloride, a mineral pitch and two clay fillers. All of these stabilizers have performed well when applied to the appropriate soils or aggregates.
