3. Soil Stabilization is the alteration of soils to enhance their
physical properties. Stabilization can increase the shear
strength of a soil and/or control the shrink-swell properties
of a soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub-
grade to support pavements and foundations.
Soil Stabilization can be utilized on roadways, parking
areas, site development projects, airports and many other
situations where sub-soils are not suitable for construction.
Stabilization can be used to treat a wide range of sub-grade
materials, varying from expansive clays to granular
materials. This process is accomplished using a wide variety
of additives, including lime, fly-ash, and Portland cement.
Other material byproducts used in Stabilization include lime-
kiln dust (LKD) and cement-kiln dust (CKD). 3
Introduction
5. MECHANICAL STABLIZATION
• In this technique mechanical energy is used (rollers, plate
compactors, tampers etc. By choice or nature of soil) to improve the
soil properties by compaction.
• Preferably for construction of embankment for roads, railways
etc.
• Mechanical stability depends upon the degree of compaction.
Normally, the compaction is done at optimum water content.
Uses―
Simplest method of soil stabilization.
To improve the sub-grades of low bearing capacity.
Extensively used for construction of bases, sub-bases and
surfacing of roads.
6. In chemical stabilization, soil is stabilized by adding different
chemicals. The main advantage of chemical stabilization is that
setting time and curing time can be controlled. Chemical
stabilization is however generally more expensive than other
types of stabilization.
The following chemicals have been successfully used –
Calcium Chloride.
Sodium Chloride.
Sodium Silicate.
Polymers.
Chrome Lignin.
Other chemicals.

CHEMICAL STABLIZATION
7. PHYSICAL STABLIZATION
7
In this method two or three types of soil are mixed together to
improve the physical properties of the soil. This improves the
gradation of the mixture to well graded material. This
technique is usually preferable in the construction of roads
where we may encounter more than one type of soil.
QUITE OFTEN SOME ADDITIVES MAY ALSO BE
ADDED FOR THE PURPOSE-
CEMENT STABILISATION.
LIME STABILISATION.
BITUMEN STABILISATION.
RESIN STABILISATION.
8. ELECTRICAL STABLIZATION
8
Electrical stabilization of clayey soils is done by method
known as electro-osmosis. This is an expensive method of soil
stabilization and is mainly used for drainage of cohesive soils.

OBJECTIVE
With the rapid growth of population, fast urbanization and
more construction of building and structure has result in
reduction of good quality available land. There is no choice
for people to use soft and weak soil around for construction
activities. such soils posses poor shear strength and high
swelling and shrinkage. The mechanical behaviour of such
type of soil has to improved by employing stablization and
reinforcement techniques to make it reliable for construction.
Black cotton soil is the one of the major issue in INDIA.
When exposed to variation in moisture content the undergo
high swelling and shrinkage making it more complicated for
engineerng point of view.
10. Glass
Strength of the glass-aggregate blend is dependent on the size
of glass cullet used in the mix and the aggregate type. The
strength of the blend will decrease as the cullet size increases
when combined with either aggregate.
The addition of glass to road base, at the recommended
levels, does not compromise the properties of the aggregate it
is combined with and provides additional environmental and
economic benefits.
12. Green interval: It is the green indication for a particular
movement or set of movements and is denoted by Gi. This is the
actual duration the green light of a traffic signal is turned on.
Red interval: It is the red indication for a particular movement or
set of movements and is denoted by Ri. This is the actual duration
the red light of a traffic signal is turned on.
Phase: A phase is the green interval plus the change and clearance
intervals that follow it. It allows a set of movements to flow and
safely halt the flow before the phase of another set of movements
start.
• Lost time: It indicates the time during which the intersection is not
effectively utilized for any movement. For example, when the
signal for an approach turns from red to green, the driver of the
vehicle which is in the front of the queue, will take some time to
perceive the signal (usually called as reaction time) and some time
will be lost before vehicle actually moves and gains speed.

13. Saturation flow
Saturation flow is a very important road traffic performance
measure of the maximum rate of flow of traffic. It is used
extensively in signalized intersection control and
design. Saturation flow describes the number of passenger car
units (pcu) in a dense flow of traffic for a specific intersection
lane group.
This baseline can be increased or decreased
depending upon the situation Factors such as:
Lane width
Grade
Pedestrians
On-street parking

• C0 Optimum Cycle Length, sec
• – L: Total lost time, sec (2n+R)
• N – no. of phase

This method is based on normal traffic and
saturation flow . 16
17. TRIAL CYCLE METHOD
The 15 minutes traffic count n1 and n2 on road 1 and road 2
are noted during the design peak hour flow.
Some suitable trial cycle c1 sec assumed and the number of
the assumed cycles in the 15 minutes or (15*60 ) seconds
period is found to be ( 15* 60)/c1 i.e.- 900/c1 .
Assuming an average time headway of 2.5 sec, the green
period G1 and G2 of roads 1 and 2 are calculated to clear
the traffic during the trial cycle .
G1 = 2.5 n1 c1 / 900 , G2 = 2.5 n2 c2 / 900
17
18. TRIAL CYCLE METHOD
The amber period A1 and A2 are either calculated
or assumed suitably ( 3-4 seconds ) and the trial cycle
length; is calculated ,
‘C1 = ( G1 + A1 + A2 )
If the calculated cycle length C1’ works out to be
approximately equal to the assumed cycle length C1 ,
the cycle length is accepted as the design cycle .
Otherwise the trials are repeated till the trial cycle
lenth works out approximately equal to the calculated
value .

19. IRC METHOD
It is the combination of approximate method ,
webster method and another check by IRC .
Used approximate method and find out the total cycle
length .
= ( Ga + Aa ) + ( Gb + Gb )
Find green time by
Ga = 6 sec. + ( na-1 ) 2
Gb = 6 sec.+ ( nb – 1) 2
Ga and Gb calculated from approximate should not be
less than , Ga and Gb calculated from IRC method. 19
20. APPROXIMATE METHOD
Amber period are selected , it may be 2,3 or 4 sec for
low , medium and high traffic.
The clearance for pedestial time is also calculated
west zone pedestial walking speed of 1.2 m/s .
The min. red time equal to pedestial clearance time +
initial walk period.
Or Min. red time = green time + amber time
Min. green time = pedestial clearance time + initial
walk period – amber time
Or green time = red time – amber time 20
21. APPROXIMATE METHOD
with pedestial signal the initial interval is the
walk period should not be less than 7sec .
Where no pedestial signal is used , a min. period of 5
sec is used as a initial period .
West zone approach volume the green time
calculated is increased for road A with higher traffic
volume use relation –
Ga/Gb = Ha/ Hb
The additional period extra time is distributed to
green time in proportional to traffic time.

Passenger Car Unit (PCU) is a metric used in
Transportation Engineering, to assess traffic-flow rate
on a highway. A Passenger Car Unit is a measure of
the impact that a mode of transport has on traffic
variables (such as headway, speed, density) compared
to a single standard passenger car.
