Two naturally occurring soils (Mercia mudstone [MM] and Oxford clay [OC]) and limestone quarry fines (LQF) were treated with the SO, a polymer, and a combination of the SO and the polymer for assessment of changes in their engineering properties. Untreated specimens also were tested to serve as a control condition. Stabilizer performance was evaluated based on the provisions of ASTM D4609-08 (2008). The test results indicated that performance was dependent on both the soil type and the stabilizer dosage. Generally, treatment did not lead to substantial changes in index properties or maximum dry density. However, the optimum moisture content for LQF was substantially reduced (17-35%)together with improvements in both dry strength (unconfined compressive strength [UCS]: 38% for MM, 26% for OC, >500% for LQF; static flexural strength [SFS]: 60% for MM and OC, >500% for LQF) and swell characteristics (20% for OC, 21-61% for MM). Applied in the proper context, the stabilizers are suitable for the treatment of soils for low-volume roads.
