Abstract
Due to shortage of crushed rock in the area, which is a significant and urgent problem for finding materials for road construction. It is necessary to use cement-stabilized soil as a substitute material for the base course instead of using crushed rock. Using soil-cement instead of crushed rock will provide a low-cost road construction material, as it utilizes materials from the construction site area. This article studies the engineering properties of soil-cement to be used as a base course material instead of the crushed rock layer. It would help reduce the possibility of accidents from transporting materials from distant crushed rock sources to the construction site. From the soil-cement testing results, it was found that the compressive strength of cement-stabilized soil exceeds 17.50 ksc after 7 days of curing, meeting the specifications set by the Department of Highways. The engineering properties of soil-cement are strong and durable when compacted. From the study using a computer program to analyze the movement of soil-cement, it was found that the road settlement value is less than 3 cm, helping to reduce road settlement problems.
