Abstract
To investigate the dynamic resilient modulus of lime soil, and find out the law of resilient modulus decay under freeze-thaw cycle, adapting to the new design code and maintenance system of highway subgrade in China, a series of dynamic tests were carried out according to the standard laboratory test methods (JTG D30-2015). The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the dynamic resilient modulus of lime soil was investigated and analyzed. Experimental test results show that for lime-treated soil, with increasing freeze-thaw cycles, dynamic modulus reduces about 0.0–46.4%. Then, compared dynamic modulus of clean soil, finding that lime has satisfactory reinforcement effect.
