Internship Objectives
To apply theoretical knowledge in industrial application To expose the students to ethical and professional work culture, industrial practices and potential employers To develop students skills in work ethics, communication, leadership and management To engage students in real research-based assignments, research-based activities and team-work activities
Presentation Objectives:
1) To explain the materials used in soil cement stabilization. 2) To explain the phases of work in the soil cement stabilization of subgrade. 3) To explain the advantages of soil cement stabilization over convectional flexible pavement.
Presentation Outline
About I.Z.A Construction Company Project Location Unsuitable site conditions (problem encountered) Soil cement stabilization- solution to the problem Materials used in soil cement stabilization. Phases of work before, during and after soil cement stabilization Advantages of soil cement stabilization over convectional flexible pavement Conclusion and Recommendations Q & A Session General Conclusion
Project Location
Anak Kurau
Problem Encountered
Most of the soil at the project site is unsuitable A conventional solution:
Soil substitution-excavate the loose soil layers and replace them with frictional material of higher bearing capacity
Effective solution
Soil cement Stabilization of the subgrade (site) materials Objective of Soil cement Stabilization of the subgrade
Reduce cost of road construction in terms of materials, time and maintenance.
A process to improve the strength, durability and permeability (Engineering Properties) of soil by: 1. Pulverizing the soil, 2. homogenously mixing cement into the pulverized soil and 3. thoroughly compacting the mixture.
2) Soil
Granular, well graded but not heavy clay nor soil with high organic content.
3) Water
Clean and free from harmful amount of acid, alkalis, oil and organic matter To obtain maximum compaction and hydrate the cement
Phases of work normally required for the soil cement stabilization of subgrade
a) Prior to Soil Cement Stabilization b) Soil Cement Stabilization Works c) Post Soil Cement Stabilization
1) 2) 3) 4)
Mobilization of Machinery Site Clearing and Earthwork Foundation and Drainage Testing and Design Mix
Mobilization of Machinery
Site Clearing
Clear the site of trees, vegetation, undergrowth, bushes Demolish existing structures in the entire area of the road reserve
Earthwork
Original Ground Level (OGL) higher or lower than Finished Road level? Strip topsoil Higher OGL- cut the area Lower OGL- fill with suitable materials
Foundation
Stable and durable?
Adequately compacted
Drainage
Adequate drainage? b. No standing water on the completed work?
a.
Testing
Sieve Analysis
Materials making excellent soil-cement contain: Granular materials well graded materials
MIX DESIGN
Depends on Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test results. UCS Test is used to calculate undrained shear strength used to determine the bearing capacity of foundations
Minimum unconfined compressive strength at 7 days for cement and 28 days for lime, lime-cement, and lime-cement-fly ash stabilized soils (Guyer, 2011).pg11

SOIL CEMENT STABILIZATION FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION
CONCLUSION
Soil Cement Stabilization Materials for Soil Cement Stabilization Phases of work required for soil cement stabilization of subgrade Advantages of soil cement stabilization for pavement over conventional flexible pavement
Recommendations
It is not advisable to proceed with the stabilization under the following climatic conditions:
The ambient temperature is below 50C or above 380C It is raining or likely to rain The wind is sufficiently strong to cause the additive to become airborne During conditions that may cause danger to people, property or the environment
