Soil Stabilization for Pavements
Credits: 5 PDH
PDH Course Description:
This course establishes criteria for improving the engineering properties of soils used for pavement base courses, subbase courses, and subgrades by the use of additives which are mixed into the soil to effect the desired improvement.These criteria are also applicable to roads and airfields having a stabilized surface layer. This manual prescribes the appropriate type or types of additive to be used with different soil types, procedures for determining a design treatment level for each type of additive, and recommended construction practices for incorporating the additive into the soil.
