Cement

Cement Stabilized Subgrade Soils. CMS is a compacted mixture of pulverized in situ soil, water, and small proportions of cement that results in an unbound or slightly bound material. The treated material is similar to a soil but has reduced plasticity and a lower susceptibility to moisture, resulting in a more workable material. Get price

Subbase (pavement)

In highway engineering, subbase is the layer of aggregate material laid on the subgrade, on which the base course layer is located. It may be omitted when there will be only foot traffic on the pavement, but it is necessary for surfaces used by vehicles. Subbase is often the main load-bearing layer of the pavement.Its role is to spread the load evenly over the subgrade. Get price

Subgrade and Subbase for Concrete Slabs

Excavated subgrade, mix it with gravel then apply compaction effort. 4. Subbase for Concrete Slab. Subbase is a layer of gravel, which is fairly cheap material, placed on top of subgrade. The subbase placement is optional and it serves as a work platform for construction of the slab and provide more uniform support for the slab. Get price

Subgrade Stabilization

Often poor subgrade soils do not possess the strength to support road construction activities and the subsequent intended traffic loads.

Subgrade Physical Properties

Subgrade Physical Properties Subgrade materials are typically characterized by (1) their resistance to deformation under load, in other words, their stiffness or (2) their bearing capacity, in other words, their strength. In general, the more resistant to deformation a subgrade is, the more load Get price

Subbases and Subgrades for Concrete Foundations

Feb 13, 2018A concrete surface is only as stable and level as its subgrade and subbase. Weak subgrade and subbase layers can settle differently across the surface and cause cracks in the concrete. Any concrete project needs at least a compacted soil subgrade layer. A thick gravel subbase and base may also be required, and are usually worth the effort. Get price

Special Practices for Design and Construction of Subgrades

Highway embankment construction progresses vertically in stages, beginning with the subgrade. For a variety of reasons, it is desirable to use naturally occurring soils for subgrade material. In some cases this is not possible due to poor soil conditions; in order to avoid realignment it is necessary to improve the subgrade material. Get price
