Mechanics properties of lime- fly ash stabilized soil are investigated. First, the chemical composition of fly ash are analyzed by spectral analysis test. Compaction experiments of all mix proportion projects are carried out in different water conditions to obtain the optimum water contents. Then the optimum mix proportion is obtained by the unconfined compressive strength and the compression rebound modulus test. Finally, the pavement structures design for a highway of lime- fly ash stabilized soil road sub-base is done. By the comparison, a conclusion can be drawn that lime-fly ash stabilized soil is suitable for flexible pavement or semi-rigid pavement because of its good strength and rigidity which can effectively reduce thickness of the lower pavement and basic deflection.

Mechanics properties of lime-steel slag stabilized soil for pavement structures are investigated. Firstly, the chemical composition of the fine grain steel slag is analyzed by spectral analysis test. In view of the materials compositions, 5 kinds of mix proportion projects are defined. Compaction tests of all mix proportion projects are carried out in different water conditions to obtain the optimum moisture contents. Then the optimum mix proportion project is demarcated by the unconfined compressive strength test and the compression rebound modulus test. Finally, the pavement structures design for a highway of lime-steel slag stabilized soil road sub-base is made. As comparisons, the pavement structures of other types of lime industrial wastes stabilized soil road sub-base are computed. It is shown that lime- steel slag stabilized soil is suitable for flexible pavement or semi-rigid pavement because of its good strength and rigidity which can effectively reduce thickness of the lower pavement and basic deflection.

In order to reveal the effect of type of admixture and its content on the strength of stabilized soil, this paper uses the sludge as raw soil and cement, fly ash as curing agent, and analyzes the strength characteristics of samples mixed stabilized according to certain content. Using the unconfined compressive strength test, the compressive strength of the samples is tested. The effect of curing agent type and its content on the compressive strength is investigated. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the content of cement and fly ash has much effect on the strength. The conclusions obtained can have some conference values on the foundation treatment and reuse of waste resources utilization.

The Cost

Flexible, rigid, and paving block pavements can be used as alternative roads because the soil conditions on the Pantai Utara Flores road are rocky soil with a relatively high CBR so that the most important role in withstand load is subgrade. The purpose of the Comparison of Construction and Costs for Flexible, Rigid, and Paving Block Pavement Structures on Jalan Pantai Utara Flores is to know which one most effective and efficient when viewed from the traffic load  with each  pavement using the Bina Marga method, AASHTO , and Direktorat Jendral Bina Marga. Jalan Pantai Utara Flores is access to Komodo Labuan Bajo airport which is a Class I road, rocky land with a relatively high CBR, rainfall of Labuan Bajo is relatively low, LHR in Labuan Bajo is relatively small, besides Labuan Bajo is a tourist area that should be supported  by road access that has driving comfort so the suitable pavement structure for Jalan Pantai Utara Flores is flexible pavement. Meanwhile, based on the recapitulation of the analysis results, the cost of flexible pavement is Rp. 28,793,604,705,600, the cost of a rigid pavement  is Rp. 34,218,430,585,828 and  the cost of paving block pavement  is Rp. 17,410,645,080,000 so it can be seen that the paving block pavement is most economical, but the paving block pavement structure has a very uncomfortable driving comfort besides that the paving block pavement structure cannot be passed by vehicles at high speed so that the paving block pavement structure is more suitable for controlling speed of vehicles such as roads in crowded urban areas and residential roads.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the influence of basalt fiber content on the static-dynamic mechanical properties and microstructure of cement-fly ash-stabilized soil. The optimum mixed contents of cement and fly ash were obtained from the results of a series of physical and mechanical experiments. Based on the optimum mixed contents of cement and fly ash, the static-dynamic mechanical performances and microstructure of cement-fly ash-stabilized soil reinforced with basalt fiber were studied by means of the unconfined compression test, dynamic compression test (namely, SHPB test), and SEM test. The results demonstrated that the addition of basalt fiber in cement-fly ash-stabilized soil significantly enhanced the static-dynamic mechanical properties of stabilized soil. With basalt fiber content varying from 0% to 1.2%, the unconfined compressive strength, dynamic compressive strength, dynamic increase factor, and specific energy absorption of stabilized soil showed an upward trend first and a downward trend subsequently. The unconfined compressive strength, dynamic compressive strength, and energy absorption ability have a maximum improvement under the optimum basalt fiber content of 0.6%. In addition, the inclusion of basalt fiber can change the failure pattern of cement-fly ash-stabilized soil. The fractal dimension of broken fragments decreased gradually with the increasing basalt fiber content and increased correspondingly with the increasing impact loading pressure. With the basalt fiber content of 0.6%, a stable internal space structure produced inside stabilized soil. However, there are many fiber-fiber weak interfaces that appeared inside stabilized soil under the basalt fiber content of 1.2%. The microstructural observations can be considered as the good interpretations to verify the macroscopic mechanical characteristics.

 This paper presents the development of strength and durability effect of stabilized soil. The clayey soil collected from Kota Samarahan, Sarawak was admixed with cement, fly ash and rubberchip as an additive for stabilization purposes. The optimum mixture determined was then used as a recommendation for the design guidelines of sub-grade based on JKR Standard Specification for Road Works. The stabilized clay specimens were prepared with 5% cement and various fly ash and rubber chips contents, of 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively. The specimens were then cured for 7 and 28 days before subjected to Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. As observed, the stabilization improved the strength and stiffness of the soil properties significantly. However, the addition of 15% rubberchip shows a reduction in strength for both 7 and 28 days curing period. From the study, the optimum mixture, which fulfilled the JKR Standard Specification was the mixture of 5% cement and 15% fly ash. However, the mixture of 5% cement and 10% rubberchip is also recommended to be used as an alternative to stabilize the subgrade for low volume road.

Advancement in the design of pavement structures in the recent decade has brought about the use of finite element modelling (FEM) tools. Numerical simulation of flexible pavement through these models are yielding positive results and enhancing pavement design year after year. Various factors contribute to this success; yet, material characterization model in FEM is a major/critical factor. However, in using FEM, there are various material characterization input methods which are; input through laboratory testing; secondly, through correlation and lastly a backward calculation from deflection measurements. Overall, input methods are more realistic and give a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the material, nevertheless quite difficult to obtain. Although, the use of fly-ash stabilizer in pavement structure is not new yet its use has not been fully implemented in FEM design. As a result, a comparative study is considered based on input and correlation parameters on fly ash stabilized flexible pavement using Abaqus. Furthermore, the results show that the material input method provides better results and gives some amount of certainty on the design life of the pavement.

Rigid pavement structures are one of the costly components of the infrastructure development process. It consumes a huge quantity of ingredients necessary for concrete development. Hence, a newly introduced concept of circular economy in combination with waste management was introduced to solve this problem. In this study, three waste products (rice husk ash (RHA), wood sawdust (WSD), and processes waste tea (PWT)) was utilized to develop the concrete for rigid pavement structures by replacing the sand, i.e., a filler material at different percentages. During the testing procedure of compressive (CS), tensile (TS), and flexural strength (FS) properties, RHA and WSD at 5% replacement were found to be a good replacement of sand to develop required concrete. This study will help in the production of eco-friendly rigid pavement structures and a pathway of life cycle assessment in the future.

Abstract Fine aggregates of construction waste and fly ash were selected as additives to modify the characteristics of Shanghai clayey soil as a composite. The laboratory tests on consistency index, maximum dry density, and unconfined compressive strength were carried out mainly for the purpose of comparing the modifying effect on the composite from fine aggregates of construction waste with that from fly ash. It is mainly concluded from test results that the liquid and plastic limit of the composites increase with the content of two additives. But their maximum dry density all decreases with the additive content. However, fine aggregates of construction waste can increase the optimum water content of the composites, while fly ash on the contrary. Finally, although the two additive all can increase the unconfined compressive strength of composites, fly ash has better effect. The current conclusions are also compared with previous studies, which indicates that the current research results are not completely the same as those from other researchers.
