Suitability of re-compacted ash-slag-soil composites for construction of road pavement

Forest communication network consists mainly of dirt roads. Acute technical problems with forest roads occur especially for these dirt road which are constructed on cohesive topsoil. Lignite fly-ash may be utilized for successful stabilization of cohesive topsoil dirt roads. Under heavy loads the pavements stabilized with fly-ash often perform unsatisfactorily and as a result failures are noted. The aim of research described in this paper was to develop technical solution for reconstruction of road pavements constructed with admixture of fly-ash and fly-ashslug respectively. Bearing strength variability of fly-ash-soil and fly-ash-slag-soil mixes after failure were considered The mixes crushed then re-compacted with addition of stabilizer as influenced by period and conditions of setting were tested. The stabilizers utilized for the test were both active fly-ash of lignite group IIIC acquired from Konin mining region and coke blast furnace slag. Two kinds of mixtures were tested. These were sandy clay mixed with addition of 14 % lignite fly-ash and the mixture of 10 % lignite fly-ash and 10% furnace slag respectively. The samples were crashed and re-compacted after 14 and 42-day period of curing in optimal and air-dump conditions. After sample curing bulk modules were measured with the utilization of VSS press. ...

Suitability of re-compacted fly-ash-slag-soil0 mixes for construction of road pavement

Forest communication network consists mainly of dirt roads. Technical problems with forest roads transport occur especially for these dirt roads which are constructed on cohesive topsoil. Lignite fly-ash may be utilized for successful stabilization of cohesive topsoil dirt roads. The pavements stabilized with fly-ash often perform unsatisfactorily under heavy loads and failures are noted as a result. The research described in this paper aimed at developing technical solution for reconstruction of road pavements constructed with admixture of fly-ash and fly-ashslug respectively. Bearing strength variability of fly-ash-soil and fly-ash-slag-soil mixes after failure and application of repair method were considered. Crushed then re-compacted with addition of stabilizer soil mixes as influenced by period and conditions of binding were tested. The stabilizers utilized for testing were both active fly-ash of lignite group IIIC and coke blast furnace slag. Two varieties of mixes were tested. These varieties were sandy clay mixed with addition of 14 % lignite fly-ash and the mixture of 10 % lignite fly-ash and 10% furnace slag respectively. The samples were crashed and re-compacted after 14- and 42-day period of curing in optimal and air-dump conditions. After sample curing deformation modules were measured with the utilization of VSS press. The deformation ...
