BITUMEN STABILIZATION OF LATERITE PRETREATED WITH HEAT AS A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT MATERIAL
📄 Project Abstract
The search for an alternative to the conventional way of treating soil for use in road work, informed laterite soil sample classified as A-7-5(11) on AASHTO soil classification system, collected from a borrow pit at Shika, along Zaria-Funtua road in Kaduna State of Nigeria was pretreated with heat and stabilized with bitumen. Sample of the laterite soil subjected to heat treatment at temperatures of 37oC (room temperature), 200oC 400oC and 600oC for one hour each and stabilized with 0, 3, 6 and 9% cutback bitumen, were subjected to Atterbergs limits test, particle size analysis, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests. Optimum CBR value of 28.52 % corresponding to 44.8 % increase in strength above the value obtained for natural laterite, was obtained when laterite was subjected to heat at a temperature of 400 degrees C for a period of one hour and stabilized with 6 % bitumen. Maximum 7 day UCS value of 417.23 kN/m2 corresponding to 56.6 % increase...
