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 />
