ABSTRACT

Many highway agencies use full-depth reclamation (FDR) along with soil stabilization to rehabilitate their roads more economically (Mallick et al. 2002). A major concern during the construction of base layers is the degradation and crushing of aggregates due to handling, pulverization and placement. Changes in gradation may adversely affect the strength and stiffness of the final product with or without stabilizing agents. The selection of the type and determination of the percentage of additive depend on the gradation of the material.
