Soil-Cement Construction Handbook

This engineering bulletin provides detailed information on surveying and sampling based on over 50 years of field experience in the construction of many million square yards of soil-cement. It explains what basic requirements must be met; including thorough pulverization and mixing, adequate cement content, proper moisture content, adequate compaction, and proper curing. This FREE publication will show how high-quality soil-cement can be built rapidly and easily under a wide variety of conditions.

Soil-Cement Laboratory Handbook

The Soil-Cement Laboratory Handbook handbook, in conjunction with the Soil-Cement Inspector's Manual and the Soil-Cement Construction Handbook, presents in practical form the complete procedure for testing and constructing soil-cement paving. It is devoted principally to the methods of making laboratory tests for determining the control factors described in the Soil-Cement Construction Handbook; pulverization, mixing, cement content, moisture content, compaction, and curing.

Thickness Design For Soil-Cement Pavements

Because Soil-Cement Pavements possess their own unique structural characteristics this brochure was written to provide engineers with a procedure for determining the thickness design of soil-cement roads, streets, and parking lots by analyzing factors such as subgrade strength, pavement design period, traffic, base course thickness, and bituminous surface thickness.

Properties and Uses of Cement-Modified Soil

Usually referred to as CMS, "Cement-Modified Soil" is a term used to describe a soil or aggregate that has been treated with a relatively small proportion of portland cement with the objective of amending problem soils and substandard materials so that they are suitable for use in construction. This pamphlet provides technical data for engineering reference during your CMS project.

Recycling Failed Flexible Pavements with Cement

Are you repairing a heavily traveled surface troubled by rutting, heaving, potholes and severe cracking? This could be a result of deteriorated or inadequate base course. Instead of covering the base course with a thin asphalt overlay or a thick overlay or removing and disposing of the existing pavement why not recycle the existing asphalt and underlying base into a new soil-cement base? This free pamphlet shows you how.
