- Abstract
- A case study was undertaken to assist Central Goldfields Shire Council, Victoria, Australia, in assessing the success of its unsealed road stabilisation program. A section of road was treated in 2009, with different combination of additives (RT20 and Eko-Soil) and then post construction testing was carried out in 2010 to verify the success of the trial. A set of parameters, including California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), Maximum Dry Density (MDD), and Optimum moisture content was tested after the setting of the additives. The results indicated that Eko-Soil performed better than Reynolds RT-20 in treating the selected site.
