Abstract:
The potential of sodium chloride as a stabilizing agent for highway construction has been investigated. Literature covering laboratory and field studies since the early 1900s is briefly reviewed. The results of laboratory tests with mixtures of several soils and a gravel with a commercial montmorillonite clay stabilized with rock salt and brine are presented. The laboratory study included the Atterberg limits test, compaction test, unconfined compression test, California bearing ratio test, indirect tensile strength test, and cyclic triaxial test. The cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to determine resilient modulus and permanent deformation under cyclic loading as well as Poisson’s ratio. The beneficial effects of sodium chloride stabilization are discussed.
