| Abstract | This research compares the performance of three different
types of sub-bases: (1) stabilized sand-cement, (2) crushed rock,
and (3) unstabilized sand for lightly loaded area on soft subgrade
like Bangkok area. Some of the important engineering properties of
the sub-base materials, related to the design of concrete block
pavement are investigated. The laboratory investigation showed that
the sand-cement has highest CBR (Soaked) value and then crushed
rock and lastly sand. Furthermore, the performance of these three
different sub-base materials were also judged from field
investigation. Six different test-sections were prepared with
different types of sub- bases and thickness. Then a full scale load
tests were carried out to simulate light traffic load. Their
performance was judged on the basis of deflection under different
drainage situations. The field test results indicated that sand-cement
showed the best performance then crushed rock and lastly
sand (alone). |
