The report presents results of experimental investigations of the comparative behavior of cement-treated silty clay and cement-treated buckshot clay under repeated compressive stresses, the behavior of cement-treated silty clay in repeated flexure, and effects of repeated load duration and frequency in both compression and flexure. Analyses are presented relative to the adequacy of stabilized layers to withstand flexural stresses imposed by specified design trucks and aircraft. Fatigue probabilities are examined and a method for assessing the probable effects on performance of variations in stabilized soil quality is described. (Author).

Properties of cement-stabilized soils were interrelated, and the performance of field sections previously tested (1963-1964) at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, Mississippi, was evaluated for the purposes of determining the validity of existing theory for prediction of pavement behavior and developing criteria and procedure for designing pavements containing soil layers stabilized with small amounts of cement. Field test sections of three different thicknesses were constructed of Vicksburg silty clay stabilized with 3%, 6%, and 10% cement contents on a heavy clay subgrade prepared to CBR values of 4 and 10, and tested under 10,000, 25,000, and 50,000-pound single-wheel loads. A failure criterion was defined according to rut depth, and the equivalency of different wheel loads (in terms of damage caused to the pavement) was determined. (Author).

Current methods of pavement design using stabilized soils as components of the pavement structure generally base selection of both quality and thickness of those materials on static tests such as the CBR procedure. To validate such procedures, the objectives of these studies are to evaluate the behavior of stabilized soils under dynamic loading conditions and develop improved criteria for quality design and thickness selection within a more rational framework. More specifically the study is concerned with examination of soil stabilization requirements established by the Corps of Engineers for military roads and airfields in the theater of operations within this framework. Two soils, Vicksburg Silty Clay and Vicksburg Buckshot Clay, were selected for study because of the considerable performance data on these soils and because, through suitable treatment, they fall within the range of stabilization requirements of the Corps. To date, most of the dynamic testing has been performed on the treated silty clay. In general the results obtained thus far indicate that cement-treated soil designed to meet Corps' criteria for CBR and compressive strength can withstand repeated compressive and flexural stresses of the magnitude and number prescribed for different classes of military operations. However, more detailed investigation of the influence of water content, mixing procedures, and method of compaction are required since the data obtained show that these variables significantly affect the strength and resilience characteristics of the cement-treated silty clay.
