Stress Strain Characteristics of Cement Stabilised Kerawa Upland Soils as a Potential Subgrade Material

Ishfaq Ahmed Dar

Abstract :

In view of upland lacustrine deposits, most of them are relatively dry and considerably consolidated nature. The soil available at such upland locations has been successfully used as a potential borrow material for road sub–grades in filling. However, generally, the remolded strength of such soils is relatively low because of soil sensitivity is –sues. Efforts are aimed at identifying some potential borrow soil sites from various areas of Kashmir Valley and evolving a methodology for significant stabilisation of same, so that performance of soil as a sub–grade can be practically improved.This paper shows the experimental study which is principally focused on cement based stabilisation of different borrow soils and their critical characterization based on stress strain performance, relative to each other. Based on comparative analysis of experimental and analytical results of stress–strain based characterization results, some rational technical suitability is expected to be recommended for stabilisation
