Client: Rural Works Sub‐Division, Malkangiri, Odisha
Reference: Your Letter No. 534 dated 15.02.2018
Description: Mix design for cement treated Sub‐base and Base for Roads (Road:MV‐53 to Semiliguda
in Package No. OR 20‐311) under PMGSY
TEST RESULTS
The following are the results obtained from various Tests conducted on the samples supplied by the
client for Cement Treated Subbase and Base Construction.
Sample: Moorum (Lateritic Soil/Gravel) and Cement (ACC PSC)
A. Soil Characterization:
Sl. No. Property Value
1 Grain Size Distribution (wet sieve analysis)
Gravel Size (%) 37
Sand Size (%) 44
Fines (%) 19
2 Index Properties
Liquid Limit 37
Plastic Limit 25
Plasticity Index 12
3 Soil Classification (as per IS) SC
B. Compaction Characteristics of the Cement Stabilized Mix:
Sl No. Property Cement Content (% by weight)
4% 8%
1 OMC (%) 8.6 8.9
3
2 MDD (kN/m ) 22.8 22.8
C. Strength Characteristics of the Cement Stabilized Mix:
Sl No. Property Cement Content (% by weight)
4% 8%
1 Unconfined Compressive Strength 2.23 4.25
after 7‐days of Curing (MPa)
Recommendations: Based on the above results, it is recommended to add 4% cement by weight of
mix for construction of cement treated subbase and 8% by weight for cement treated base layer to
achieve the desired strength. About 20% stone aggregates in base layer may be added for better
performance. Quality of cement and date of packing should be thoroughly checked before use for
stabilization. Use vibratory roller for better output.
