Description: This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to laboratory testing of soil-cement and cement modified soils for pavement applications. The handbook refers to ASTM and AASHTO test designations for moisture-density, freeze-thaw, and wet-dry tests.
Describes ASTM/AASHTO soil-cement testing procedures for determining the cement requirement, maximum density, and optimum moisture. Includes a shortcut testing procedure for sandy soils and a rapid method for small projects. Also covers unusual sandy soils, plastic soil-cement, and modification of soils with cement.
