MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A PAVEMENT USING THE CEMENT TREATED SOIL

Abstract

A pavement using the cement treated soil is usually used for a pavement of park etc., which consider well matched landscape. However, the cement treated soil pavement has the long term durability problem (abrasion, crack etc.) of the changing of weather or the use method in order to set up the low rigid as compared with the asphalt pavement.
The purpose of this research is the laboratory tests and site investigations were carried out to investigate the durability of the cement treated soil pavement materials. In the site investigations, we investigated the cracks, the surface friction properties and the elasticity of 36 sites. In the laboratory tests, we performed Unconfined compression tests, Cantabro tests and Rotation abrasion tests. The results of laboratory tests and site investigations showed that the long term durability of the cement treated soil pavement materials is influenced by the cement volume, the surface coating and the use method.
