Stabilization of silty sand with nontraditional additives

RL Santoni, JS Tingle… - Transportation research …, 2002 - journals.sagepub.com
A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the stabilization of a silty-sand (SM)
material with nontraditional chemical or liquid stabilizers. SM soil specimens were mixed
with various stabilization products and compacted using a gyratory compaction machine to
approximate ASTM D1557 moisture—density compaction. Each specimen was subjected to
wet and dry testing following the designated cure period. Twelve nontraditional stabilizers
were evaluated in this experiment, including acids, enzymes, lignosulfonates, petroleum …

Accelerated strength improvement of silty sand with nontraditional additives

RL Santoni, JS Tingle, M Nieves - Transportation research …, 2005 - journals.sagepub.com
A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two products used to
accelerate strength improvement of a silty sand (SM) material stabilized with nontraditional
stabilizers. SM soil samples were mixed with selected products and tested under both “wet”
and dry conditions after 1-and 7-day cures. Nine nontraditional stabilizers, including
lignosulfonates, polymers, silicates, and tree resins, were evaluated in this experiment. Two
accelerator products, an acrylic polymer and Type I portland cement, were evaluated …

Stabilization of clay soils with nontraditional additives

JS Tingle, RL Santoni - Transportation Research Record, 2003 - journals.sagepub.com
A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the stabilization of low-and high-
plasticity clay soils with nontraditional chemical or liquid stabilizers. Clay soil specimens
were mixed with various stabilization products and compacted using a gyratory compaction
machine to approximate ASTM D1557 moisture–density compaction. Each specimen was
subjected to wet and dry testing following a 28-day cure. Twelve nontraditional stabilizers
were evaluated, including an acid, enzymes, a lignosulfonate, a petroleum emulsion …
