provided in IRC: 37-2018. The following types of pavement with CCS/CS can be considered with

bituminous surfacing and a crack relief layer in terms of Aggregate of Stress Absorbing Membrane

Interlayer (SAMI):

Stabilized Bases with Stabilized Sub-bases

Stabilized Bases with Granular Sub-bases

Granular Bases with Stabilized Sub-bases

12.4.2 Design Considerations for Sub-base and Base Elastic Modulus:

The relevant design parameter for bound sub-bases is the elastic modulus E, which can be

explained in Chapter 5 of IRC:SP:89-2010. Two methods of stabilization as indicated below can be

used:

1. Mix-in-place Stabilization

2. Plant-mix Stabilization

12.5.2 The procedure explained in above given reference shall be followed with following

consideration:

For Mix-in-place Stabilization, specialized stabilization machinery shall be used capable of

providing in-situ rock/boulder crushing-cum pulverizing-cum –homogenizing features and

for a constant depth/uniform operation. Manual mixing methods using labour/agriculture

based methodology shall not be permitted, Some of the recommended specialized

machinery types are given in Annexure – IV as per clause 5.2 of IRC: SP: 89 (Part II)

2018.

For plant-mix Stabilization, calibration of plant (Concrete batch mix/WMM) with the CCS

shall be done to achieve the roper homogeneity of all the material as per specified

combinations as per clause 5.2 of IRC: SP: 89 (Part II) 2018.

Success of stabilization technology depends on effective mixing of ingredients including

stabilizers hence good quality equipment is must. Dosage of admixtures/stabilizers could be

less than 3 per cent for few products hence intimate mixing through good effective

equipment is essential.

12.5.3 Curing: The cementitious layer shall be cured using bituminous sealing compound like

emulsion for 7 days. Subsequent pavement courses shall be laid soon after to prevent the surface

from drying out and becoming friable. No traffic of any kind shall ply over the compacted layer

unless permitted by the engineer.

12.5.4 Surface Finish

The surface finish of construction shall conform to the requirements of Clause 902.

12.6 SPECIFICATIONS AND TEST REQUIRMENTS FOR STABILIZED MATERIALS

12.6.1 General Requirement

The pavement performance of stabilized road will be largely governed by the gradation and the

type of soil/granular material used for the purpose of stabilization. The quality of material to be

stabilized should meet the minimum standard set out in specifications as per clause 4.1 of IRC:

SP: 89-2010

12.6.2 Stabilization with Cement

12.6.2.1 Requirement for soil modification/sub-grade improvement

Cement stabilized materials can be used for soil modification or improvement of sub grade soil. It

is recommended from economic consideration that mix in-place methods of construction be used

for sub grade improvement and only granular materials and silty cohesive materials be used. (The

assumption being that more clayey materials would be more effectively stabilized with lime). The

main requirements for cement modification or stabilization of sub grade soil shall be as per clause

4.2.1 of IRC: SP: 89-2010




12.6.2.2 Requirement for bound sub-bases/bases

Granular materials, gravel, sand, lateritic soils, sandy silty material, crushed slag, crushed

concrete, brick metal and kankar, etc stabilized with cement etc. may be allowed for use as

capping layer over weak sub grade, as sub-base and base layer of pavement. The main

requirements of stabilized layers for different layers of a pavement structure as indicated above

shall be as per clause 4.2.2 of IRC:SP:89-2010

12.6.3 Materials to be treated

The material used for cement treatment shall be soil including sand and gravel, laterite, kankar,

brick aggregate, crushed rock or slag or any combination of these For use in a sub-base course,

less than 5, capable of producing a well-closed surface finish. For use in a base course the material

shall be sufficiently well graded to ensure a well-closed surface finish and have a grading within

the range given in table 400-4. If the material passing 425 micron sieve is plastic, it shall have a

liquid limit not greater than 45 percent and a plasticity index not greater than 20 percent

determined in accordance with IS : 2720 ( Part 5). The physical requirements for the material to

be treated with cement for use in a base course shall be same as for Grading I granular Sub-base,

Clause 401.2.2. The aggregate gradation for CTB shall be as given in table 400-4 of MORT&H

Specifications(23).The CTB material shall have a minimum unconfined Compressive Strength

(UCS) of 4.5 to 7 Mpa as per IRC:SP:89 in 7/28 days.

Bound base may consist of aggregates or soils or both stabilized with commensurate available

materials as per IRC 37-2012 which are required to give a minimum strength of 4.5 to 7Mpa in

7/28 days. While the conventional cement should attain the above strength in seven days (IRC SP-

89-2010) stabilized granular materials and soils should meet the above strength requirement in 28

days since strength gain in such materials is a slow process. The initial modulus of the

cementitious bases to be in the range 10000 to 15000 Mpa. The long term modulus of the

cementitious layer to be taken as fifty percent of the initial modulus due to shrinkage cracks and

construction traffic.

Control on the quality of materials and work shall be exercised by the Engineer-in-Charge in

accordance with section 900 of MORT&H specification for road and Bridge works(Fifth revision) IRC

37-2018 AND IRC SP-89 (PART-II)-2018 and IRC SP 89 2010 as under :-

4332(Part-IV)-1965

For stabilization, the soil before addition of cement and chemical admixture shall be

pulverized, where necessary, to the extent that it passed the requirements as set out in Table

400-7 when tested in accordance with the method described in Appendix 3 of MORT&H

specification for Road and Bridge works (Fifth revision) or and as per the recommended

acceptance of the technology provider/manufacturer

Only mechanized method of construction for laying and compaction shall be used. The

equipment should be capable of administering the design dose of stabilizer and quantity of water

to produce a uniform and homogeneous mix

After construction, the curing as recommended in IRC SP 89-2010 shall be done

12.6.7 Test Requirements

11.6.7.1 Unconfined compressive strength test

This test is carried out on cylindrical or cubical specimens prepared by mixing the soil at a

predetermined moisture content and stabilizer content and compacting the mixed material into a

mould at either a pre-determined density or at a given compactive effort. The choice of specimen

size and shape depends on the grading of the soil; it is clearly desirable to keep as small as

possible the ratio of the maximum particles size to the smallest dimension of the mould the tests

shall be carried out as per clause 4.7 of IRC:SP:89-2010

12.6.7.2 Durability of stabilized materials

In order to check the durability of the stabilized mix for sub –base/base, the methods used shall

be as per clause 4.7.2 of IRC:SP:89-2010

12.6.8 PERFORMANCE BEHAVIOR

12.6.8.1 The resilient modulus and permanent deformation are important properties and shall be

evaluated. The performance evaluation shall as per clause 6.1 of IRC: SP: 89 (Part II) 2018.

12.6.8.2 Manufacturer of a CCS shall submit report on performance evaluation done by reputed

Government Organization/Institution like NIT‟s, CRRI, IIT‟s or any NABL approved laboratory.

12.6.8.3 The performance evaluation report of roads constructed with such stabilizers shall be

evolved after two years of trail with a frequency of two times every year.

12.6.8.4 Routine visual observations shall be taken and recorded monthly.

12.6.9 QUALITY ASSURANCE

12.6.9.1 General

During the construction process regular checks are to be made on the stabilized material to ensure

that all the requirements of the specification are being met. Many of the checks carried out are

merely “good housekeeping” i.e. continual supervision to ensure that the construction process

allows the design objective to be achieved in full. In addition to this there are production control

tests carried out to monitor the work in progress to ensure, for examples, that the correct

thickness of stabilized layer is being laid and that a consistent product is being produced. Finally

compliance tests are to be carried out on the finished product to demonstrate that it meets all the

requirements of the specification.

This chapter, therefore, describes the tests that may need to be carried out to check on the quality

of the material. It also discusses the various factors that influence the choice of a particular test

that is used to establish the values for parameters such as moisture content, compacted density,

strength, etc., set out in the specification.

12.6.9.2 Preliminary Trial

As part of the quality control and in order to make a final decision on moisture content and

stabilizer content, the information gained in the laboratory test should be related to preliminary

field trial. These shall be as per clause 6.2 of IRC: SP: 89-2010.

12.6.9.3 Sampling and Testing Frequency




Samples for checking the moisture content, strength, etc are most conveniently taken from the

laid material before compaction. Frequency of testing depends on the size of the project and the

facilities available on site but regular checks should, at least, be made on the moisture content,

strength and in-situ density. Whatever the frequency, sampling should be spread out over the site

so as to give representative indication of the quality of the material within a given area. All the

activities of sampling and testing shall be carried out as per clause 6.3 of IRC: SP: 89-2010

12.6.9.4 Storage and Handling of the Stabilizer

Unless cement is properly stored and used in a fresh condition the quality of the pavement layer

will be substantially reduced. Cement must be stored in a sound water-tight building and the bags

stacked as tightly as possible. Doors and windows should only be opened if absolutely necessary.

The cement which is delivered first should be sued first. The storage and handling of cement shall

be carried out as per clause 6.4 of IRC: SP: 89-2010

12.6.9.5 Control of the Moisture Content

Throughout the stabilization work, the moisture content should be maintained slightly above its

specified value. This means that rapid determination of the in-situ moisture content is necessary to

allow adjustments to be made so as bring the moisture content of the stabilized material to the

required value. This shall be carried out as per clause 6.5 of IRC: SP: 89-2010

12.6.9.6 Control of the Stabilizer Content

Mechanical method of spreading the stabilizer should be employed, it is important that a uniform

spread rate is achieved as this will affect the uniformity of the stabilized material.

As mechanical spreader is used, metal trays or canvas sheets, one meter square, should be placed

at regular interval along the road to check the application rate.

The control for stabilizer content for mechanical spreader needs to be carried out as per clause 6.6

of IRC: SP: 89-2010

12.6.9.7 Routine Strength Determinations

Continuous monitoring of the strength of processed material is required to ensure that the

specified strength is being achieved. Representative samples of the full depth of mixed material

should therefore be taken from the site immediately prior to compacting the material. The routine

strength determinations should be carried out as per clause 6.7 of IRC: SP: 89-2010

12.6.10 Strength and Quality Control

Control on the quality of materials and works shall be exercised by the Engineer in accordance

with Section 900.

Cement treated soil sub-base/base shall be tested for the unconfined compressive strength (UCS)

value at 7 days, actually obtained in-situ. In case of variation from the design UCS, in-situ value

being on lower side, prior to proceeding with laying of base/surface course on it, the pavement

design shall be reviewed for actual UCS value. The extra pavement thickness needed on account of

lower UCS shall be constructed by the Contractor at his own cost.

12.6.11 Weather Limitations

Stabilization shall not be done when the air temperature in the shade is less than 100c.

12.6.12 Degree of Pulverisation




For stabilization, the soil before addition of cement shall be pulverised, where necessary, to the

extent that it passes the requirements as set out in Table 400-7 when tested in accordance with

the method described in Appendix-3.

Table 400-7 Soil Pulverisation Requirements for Cement Stabilization

12.6.13 Clauses 402.3.3 to 402.3.5 shall apply as regards spreading and mixing the stabilizer

except that cement or lime plus cement as the case may be, shall be used as the stabilizing

material in place of lime.

12.6.14 Moisture Content for Compaction

The moisture content at compaction checked vide IS:2720 (Part 2) shall not be less than the

optimum moisture content corresponding to IS:2720 (Part 8) nor more than 2 percent above it.

12.6.15 Rolling

During the period of construction, arrangements for traffic shall be provided and maintained in

accordance with Clause 112.

12.6.16 Arrangements for Traffic

12.7. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE USING STABILIZED MATERIALS

12.7.1 General

The two major problems that arise with the use of stabilized materials in road pavement layers are

cracking and the long-term durability of the material. The extent to which either of these is a

problem is intimately related to the purpose of the stabilized layer in the road pavement as a

whole and it is, therefore, difficult to divorce the tow factors. However, in this Chapter the

problems that can arise are discussed.

12.7.2 Cracking is Stabilized Layers

Many factors contribute to the cracking and crack-spacing of stabilized pavement layers. Some of

them are listed below:

1) Tensile strength of the stabilized material;

2) Shrinkage characteristics;

3) Volume changes resulting from temperature of moisture variations;

1) The subgrade restraint;

2) Stiffness and creep the stabilized material, and

3) External loadings such as those caused by traffic.




As in the case of compressive strength, the tensile strength of stabilized materials takes time to

develop. On the other hand, stabilized material in a road pavement layer will be subject to volume

changes from at least one of the factors listed above as soon as it is compacted. Cracking in

stabilized layers due to changes in temperature of moisture content cannot, therefore, be avoided

and must be accepted as inevitable although steps can be taken to reduce the effect. Cracking

may also occur as a result of fatigue failure due to trafficking and is and entirely separate

phenomenon from the initial cracking due to environmental changes.

Cracks in stabilized layers used at capping and sub-base level are unlikely to cause significant

problems but at base level the cracks may be reflected through the surfacing. The existence of

cracks in a road surface may assumed to indicate need for remedial action. The consequences of

not doing so, may range from no problems at all to loss of interlock or to eventual failure when the

stabilized layer has been reduced to unconnected blocks. Cracks may also permit ingress of water

leading to weathering of materials at crack faces, de-bonding between pavement layers, or

deterioration of moisture-susceptible layers beneath the stabilized layer.

12.7.3 Primary Cracking

Cracks appear in cement-stabilized materials as a result of shrinkage and temperature

fluctuations. The initial crack pattern is dependent on the early strength of the material and the

properties of the material used. Materials which have low strength, normally also contain a higher

proportion of plastic fines. The stabilized materials with lower strength and with high proportion of

plastic fines have frequent but narrow cracks. Whether or not these frequent but fine cracks prove

to be a problem depends to a large extent on the mechanical interlock at the face of the cracks. It

the interlock is good the material performs satisfactory and the cracks are sufficiently fine for them

not to be reflected through the pavement layer above. However, the lower strengths of these

stabilized materials mean that they are generally only suitable for use in the lower layers of the

road where cracking is less of problem anyway.

On the other hand, stabilized materials with high strength criteria and which have little, if any,

plastic fines have fewer but wide cracks. These cracks are often wide enough for them to be

reflected though the surface. In order to restrain the propagation of lateral reflective cracks, such

materials therefore have to be covered with a greater thickness of construction material than

would otherwise be required.

The temperature at which the material is laid also plays a part in the type of crack pattern that is

produced. Layers placed in cooler weather tend to develop fewer and narrower cracks as there is

less thermal shrinkage. The stabilized layer may subsequently be in compression, apart perhaps

from prolonged cold spells, so that cracks remain closed with good load transfer. Fewer cracks

develop when the temperature difference between day and night during construction is not large,

as thermal warping is reduced.

12.7.4 Traffic Associated Cracks

Quite separately and much more importantly than the primary transverse cracks, cracks may

appear is stabilized bases of inadequate strength or inadequate construction thickness in relation

to the traffic and the sub-grade strength. Such cracking takes the form of “map” cracking which, in

extreme cases, cause the stabilized material to deteriorate into small slabs with poor load transfer.

Once started, deterioration is likely to continue until the stabilized base becomes little more

effective that granular sub-base.

When extensive cracking has developed as a result of the combined action of free water and

traffic, then it other results in the “pumping” to the surface of fine material from the underlying

pavement layers where it is deposited in the cracks. The fines discolour the surface along the

cracks making them clearly visible.




Unlike the primary cracking, the appearance of traffic-associated cracks is not inevitable. It should

not occur if the road pavement has been properly designed to take account of the traffic likely to

be encountered during the design life of the road.

12.7.5 Durability of Stabilized Materials

The failure of stabilized materials by disintegration into a loose mass is not common. It is most

likely to be due to deficiency either in the amount of stabilizer, deficiency in the quality of the

stabilizer, or deficient compaction or curing. These problems should not occur if a good standard of

preliminary testing for suitability and of quality control are maintained.

It is reported that the most common type of failure of stabilized layers is the peeling-off of surface

dressings from stabilized layers. This is usually due to failure of top of the layers itself rather than

any of the shortcoming of the surface dressing. The surface of the layer tends to disintegrate

under traffic, the most likely cause of which is considered to be as a result of overstressing of the

surface layer during the compaction of the stabilized material at the time of construction. This

induces a series of shallow shear of shallow shear planes in the surface layer and result is a sharp

failing-off density of the material towards the upper surface. Overstressing is most prevalent with

uniformly graded non-cohesive sands. It can be avoided if special care is taken with the

compaction and if towed vibrating rollers are used.

A survey of know causes of lack of durability of stabilized layers confirmed that the most common

problem was surface disintegration of the primed layer during construction and scabbing of the

seal in service due to an inadequate bond with the stabilized material. These problems are a result

of inadequate compaction and curing and are more likely to occur in hot, dry climates. Apart from

the problem of surface disintegration, long-term durability may also be impaired by the effects of

sulphates and by carbonation.

12.7.6 Control of Reflective Cracking in Cement Stabilized Pavements

Although the potential exists for reflection cracking when a cement-stabilized base is used in a

pavement structure, proper construction and design techniques can minimize the potential that the

pavement will be adversely affected. Proper construction practices to minimize drying, pre-

cracking soon after construction, and designing for stress relief are all valid methods that will

reduce or eliminate the formation of reflection cracks in cement-stabilized bases.

There are several factors as discussed in the previous chapter, which contribute to the cracking in

a cement-stabilized base/sub-base. With regard to material characteristics, the type of soil,

cement content, degree of compaction and curing, and temperature and moisture changes directly

influence the degree of shrinkage.

There are a number of preventative measures and design concepts that can be sued to minimize

shrinkage cracking in the cement-stabilized base, and to reduce the potential, that base cracks will

reflect through the asphalt surface. Methods of controlling reflective cracking include proper

construction and curing of the stabilized base, reduction of cracks size through the use of “pre-

cracking”, and relief of stress concentrations through the use of flexible layers in the pavement

structure.

A cement-stabilized base provides excellent support for asphalt surfaces. The stabilized base

material is stronger, more uniform and more water resistant that an un-stabilized base. Loads are

distributed over a larger area and stresses in the subgrade are reduced. However, cement-

stabilized bases can also be the source of shrinkage cracks in the stabilized based layer, which can

reflect through the asphalt surface. The cracks that develop are not the result of a structural

deficiency, but rather a natural characteristic of cement-stabilized bases. The surface cracks tend

to follow the same patter as the cracks in the base, and referred to as “reflection” cracks.




In most cases, reflection cracks are narrow (less than 3 mm) and will not adversely affect the

performance of the pavement. However, wider cracks can result in rough riding surface and

deterioration of the pavement. The wide cracks create an environment for water infiltration and

subsequent pumping of the underlying sub grade.

Several factors contribute to the cracking and crack spacing in a cement stabilized base which

include material characteristics, construction procedure, traffic and restraint imposed on the base

by the subgrade. With regard to material characteristics the primary cause of cracking is due to

drying shrinkage of the cement stabilized base. The degree of drying shrinkage is affected by the

type of soil, degree of compaction and curing, cement content, temperatures and moisture

changes.

Cement stabilized fine grained soils e.g. clays exhibit greater shrinkage than cement stabilized

granular soils. Although stabilized clay soils develop higher total shrinkage than granular soils, the

cracks are typically finer and more closely spaced other of hairline variety spaced 0.6 to 3.0 m

apart. The granular soils generally produce less shrinkage but develop larger cracks typically

spaced at 3.0 to 6.0 m apart.

Fine grain grained soils have large surface area than granular soils and typically require higher

moisture content for compaction purposes. In addition, cement content for fine grained soils are

generally 2 to 5 percent higher than granular soils in order to achieve adequate durability and

strength. Both these factor contribute to high moisture contents for stabilized fine grained soils

and consequently higher drying shrinkage.

The effect of compaction on shrinkage characteristics of cement stabilized material plays an

important role. A well compacted mixture exhibits reduced shrinkage potential, because the

soil/aggregates particles are packed tightly together resulting in reduced voids. It has been

reported that compacting cement stabilized soil at modified proctor effort, reduces shrinkage

significantly as compared to stabilized soil compacted standard proctor density. The reason for the

same can be attributed to the fact that the optimum moisture contents at modified proctor

compaction are typically less that at standard proctor compaction which helps to reduce shrinkage.

The least amount of shrinkage is obtained for the stabilized material at the highest density and

lowest moisture content.

Cement hydration contributes less to shrinkage than does many other factors. In fact, for soils

that exhibit volume change without cement, increasing cement will decrease total shrinkage.

However, excessive amounts of cement can exacerbate cracking in two ways: First, increased

cement content cause greater consumption of water during hydration, thus increasing drying

shrinkage. Also, higher cement levels cause higher rigidity and excessive strength (both tensile

and compressive).

Methods of controlling reflective cracking basically fall into the two categories:

Pre-cracking

Providing for stress relief at the base-surface interface

Pre-Cracking: Minimizing crack width with proper construction and curing procedures, as

discussed in the previous sections, will eliminate much of the potential for wide cracks. Another

method to reduce crack width is a relatively new procedure called “pre-cracking”, where hundreds

of tiny micro-cracks develop instead of single transverse cracks. The method has been successfully

tried on several projects in the United States. The procedure involves several passes of a large

vibratory roller over the cement-stabilized base one to two days after final compaction. This

introduces a network of closely spaced hairline cracks into the cement-stabilized material, which

acts to relieve the shrinkage stresses in the early stages of curing, and provides a crack pattern

that will minimize the development of wide shrinkage cracks. In addition, since the pre-cracking is




performed shortly after placement, the “micro-cracking” will not impact the pavement‟s overall

structural capacity as the cracks will heal and the cement-stabilized material will continue to gain

strength with time.

Stress Relief: Another method of reducing the potential for reflection cracking is to relieve

the stress concentrations that result from cracks in the cement-stabilized base. The following three

methods have been successfully used to reduce the stresses that cause reflection cracks:

1) A bituminous surface treatment (chip seal) between the stabilized base and the asphalt

surface. The additional flexibility of the surface treatment layer will help to reduce stress

concentrations. This surface treatment also provides an excellent temporary surface during

construction for traffic control.

2) A geotextile between the stabilized base and surface, or between the asphalt binder and

wearing courses. Similar to the surface, treatment, the geotextile provides flexibility and

acts to intercept cracks without letting them pass through the material.

3) A 50 mm to 100 mm layer of unbound granular material between the stabilized base

layer and the asphalt surface. This use of “sandwich” or “inverted” pavement design adds

additional structure to the pavement, and will prevent the propagation of cracks through to

the surface layer.
