摘要：	Pavement subgrades constructed with clay soils can cause significant pavement distress because of moisture-induced volume changes and low subgrade support values. Lime is well known for its ability to stabilize plastic clays; however, postland cement also provides highly effective clay stabilization, usually with the added benefit of higher strength gain. Stabilizing clays with cement or lime can improve subgrade properties at a lower cost than either removing and replacing material or increasing the base thickness to reduce subgrade stress. The clay soil stabilization mechanism for the calcium-based stabilizers portland cement and lime is reviewed. These materials modify soil properties through cation exchange, flocculation and agglomeration, and pozzolanic reaction. Additionally, cement provides hydration products, which increase the strength and support values of the subgrade materials as well as enhance the permanence of the treatment. Comparative laboratory and field performance studies by others, focusing on stabilization of clay soils with portland cement or lime, are critically reviewed. Several factors affecting stabilization are discussed, including stabilizer test procedures, dosage effects to soil properties, mixing, compaction, and gradation and pulverization. Additionally, durability of cement and lime as stabilizers is reviewed, including wetting and drying, freezing and thawing, leaching, and long-term field performance. The research reviewed indicates that, if proportioned and applied properly, both cement and lime can effectively improve the engineering properties of clay soils over the life of a pavement. The results presented provide a guide to the engineer about the property changes to expect when using portland cement and lime with regard to volume stability, strength, and durability.
