Test Study on Road Performance of Soils Stabilized by Liquid Stabilizer in Seasonally Frozen Regions

In seasonally frozen regions, road construction often suffers from low strength,lack of durability, etc. Improving the typical clay's workability in Changchun with lime and the Base-Seal stabilizer (BS-100) shows promising results. A comprehensive investigation to assess the soil characteristics influence is undertaken, so as the lime and liquid stabilizer (BS-100) content on the physical properties of stabilized soils in seasonally frozen regions. The optimum mix proportions, unconfined compressive strength, splitting strength, modulus of resilience, freeze-thaw action, water resistance and penetration-resistance were outlined. By comparing with current specifications, the Base-Seal stabilized soil as base material has higher early strength, higher after-strength and better frost stability.The results can be applied in road construction in seasonally frozen regions.
