摘要: Selection of design strengths of soil subgrades and subgrades treated with cement or hydrated lime is a problem in pavement design analysis and construction. Different types of soils may exist in a highway corridor and different strengths may exist after the soils are compacted to form the pavement subgrade. The selected subgrade strength will largely affect the pavement thickness obtained from the design analysis, future pavement performance, and the overall bearing capacities of the subgrade during construction and the pavement structure after construction. In developing the proposed selection scheme, a newly developed mathematical model, based on limit equilibrium, is used. Relationships among undrained shear strength [or California bearing ratio (CBR)] and tire contact stresses are developed for factors of safety 1.0 and 1.5. The minimum subgrade strength required to sustain anticipated construction tire contact stresses during construction is determined. A criterion is proposed for determining when subgrade stabilization is needed and methods of selecting the design subgrade strength are examined. A least-cost analysis appears to be an appropriate approach as shown by analysis of a case study involving pavement failures. Two case studies show that soaked laboratory strengths appear to be fairly representative of long-term field subgrade strengths. Hence, using soaked laboratory strengths and least-cost analysis appears to be a reasonable means for selecting the design strength of subgrades for pavement analysis. To avoid failures of chemically stabilized layers, relationships among thicknesses of chemically treated layers and the CBR values of the untreated subgrade for a factor of safety of 1.5 are presented.
