Abstract:

Soil Cement with admixture can be used together to get the more stabilized subgrade on roads. When the soil is mixed with cement and then with admixture the properties of the soil get changed. The aim of the study is to review on stabilization of subgrade using soil cement with admixtures. In the experiment the soil sample has been taken from the Vadodara region, the soil is found granular soil with sufficient fines and many laboratory tests has been conducted on that soil sample and soil cement with admixtures with varying percentage of cement and admixture. The experiments which have performed are Standard Proctor Test, California Bearing Ratio Test (CBR) & Unconfined Compression Test (UCT) by adding 5 %, 10%, 15%, 20% of the cement content by volume of dry soil and the Admixture which has used is Lime of 5% by weight of the dry soil. Lime is chosen because lime alters the nature of the adsorbed layer and gives pozzolanic action.
