USO DE POLÍMEROS COMO ESTABILIZADOR DE SUELOS APLICADO EN VÍAS DE ARCILLA (CL) Y GRAVA ARCILLOSA (GC).

Abstract

This work was created to determine if the use of polymers makes for stabilizing a clay soil and clay gravel, controlling soil volumes in trials to get the optimal relationship soil-polymer and making greater resistance. CBR tests with 12, 25 and 56 strokes, starting with naturally occurring clay soil to determine the CBR percentage naturally performed, then 5 additional tests were performed with varying percentages and then had the optimum product content. The tests were repeated for clayey gravel using the same procedures. Subsequently, simple compression tests were conducted to determine the resistance of the soil to receive loads, as well as soil behavior and the natural fracture mode and product variations in percentages state. 8 Mathematical models were made to see how the soil works having different percentages of product, and finally, pavement designs to compare the thickness of asphalt, base and sub-base, and get a comparative cost taking a Clay Base ( CL) polymer enhanced, and another base improved with material transfered from another site.
