Influence of wet and dry cycle on compressive strength and Modulus of elasticity of lateritic soil cement modified with polymer
Main Article Content
Abstract
The pavement structure is one of the main structures affecting the power and durability of the road. This research studies the performance of lateritic soil-cement mixed with polymer to improve the long-term properties for use as base course. The influence of wet and dry cycle on compressive strength and elastic modulus was mainly investigated. The study showed that Polymer solution reduces water absorption at dry cycle for soil cement. Adding polymer solution could improve strength and elastic modulus, providing longer life-service for pavement.
