Stabilization of Pavement Subgrades and Base Courses with Lime

This handbook provides a reference on the state of the art in lime stabilization of subgrade soils, subbases and base courses used primarily in roadway and airfield construction. The handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive though not exhaustive reference on (1) mechanisms of reaction between lime and soil; (2) mixture design; (3) engineering properties derived as a result of lime stabilization of soils and aggregates; (4) pavement thickness design considerations; (5) construction and quality control considerations; and (6) life cycle cost considerations.
