Using Enzymes in soil stabilization
Terms Used in Road Construction
Terms Used in Road Construction
Existing pavement design methods cater to relatively high volumes of traffic with damaging effect quantified in terms of ESA (equivalent standard axles). In contrast, main factors controlling deterioration of LVRs (Low Volume Roads) are dominated by the local road environment and details of design (drainage), construction and maintenance practice.
Conventional specs apply to “ideal” materialsStandard methods of test do not always give a
true assessment of performance of local materials
The Challenge faced when dealing with set Engineers:
“ The art of the roads engineer consists for a good part in utilizing specifications that will make possible the use of materials he finds in the vicinity of the road works.
Unfortunately, force of habit, inadequate specifications and lack of initiative have suppressed the use of local materials and innovative construction technologies”
Consider materials’ “fitness for purpose”Make specification fit materials rather than
materials fit specification (“resource based” specs)
Primary Problem faced:
Pavement Performace:
Material strength derived from combination of:- cohesive effects- soil suction- physio-chemical (stab) forces- inter-particle friction
Material selection influenced by:- traffic loading- environment- material properties (plastic mod)- pavement configuration
Selection of material for construction:
Wide variety of chemical additives available including:Wetting agents to improve compactionHygroscopic salts (e.g. calcium, magnesium or
sodium chlorides)Natural polymers (e.g. ligno sulphonates)Synthetic polymer emulsions (e.g. acrylates)Modified waxesSulphonated oilsBiological enzymes
