Author Description

The objectives of the project are to investigate in the field the degree of uniformity and quality that is obtained with soil modification with LKD using current construction techniques, and also to explore changes in construction methods that may result in a better product. The objectives are accomplished by: (1) selecting an appropriate construction site where LKD is used for soil modification; (2) performing field and laboratory tests to ascertain the magnitude of the engineering properties of the chemically treated soil and the degree of uniformity accomplished with the treatment; (3) analyzing the field and laboratory data to provide recommendations for changes in construction methods; and (4) providing recommendations for considering the modified subgrade as a structural layer
