TABLE 408.1 APPROPRIATE PROCESSING/STABILIZATION TECHNIQUES<br />
Sl. No. Soil/Aggregate Properties Processing/Stabilization Technique Test Procedure<br />
1. Sands, moorums /gravels having Mechanical Stabilization to meet the Refer Sub-sections 401<br />
missing fractions and clayey soils. prescribed grading and plasticity and 402.<br />
requirements.<br />
2. Medium and heavy clays having PI>10 Lime Stabilisation to meet the specified Refer Sub-section 403.<br />
and containing atleast 15 percent of LL and PI requirements and to improve<br />
material finer than 425 micron. the CBR value.<br />
3. Granular soils deficient in cohesion <strong>for</strong> Cement Stabilization to improve Refer Sub-section 404.<br />
adequate compaction and strength. strength (CBR/UCS).<br />
4. Soils of medium plasticity and clayey Lime-flyash Stabilization to reduce PI Refer Sub-section 409<br />
soils not reactive to lime. and increased strength in terms of<br />
CBR/UCS.<br />
5. Heavy clays with PI>30 and very low Two-stage Lime/Cement Stabilization Refer Sub-section 404.<br />
CBR value. and increased strength.<br />
