Description / Abstract:
This method provides for the determination of the unconfined
compressive strength of soil-lime stabilization mixtures.
Note 1-Generally, an unconfined compressive
strength of 690 kPa (100 psi) is satisfactory for the final course
of base construction, and it is desirable that materials for such
courses contain minimum of 50 percent plus 0.425-mm (No. 40)
material before treatment. Various soil materials may be treated
for subbase, and, in such cases, the minimum suggested unconfined
compressive strength is 345 kPa (50 psi).
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
