Abstract

Road damage on The National Road Trengguli -Bts. Kab. Demak/Kudus in the form of cracks and collapses, the contributing factors are soft subgrade conditions and irrigations on both sides of the road. Chemical stabilization with Ca(OH)2lime can improve the soil's mechanical and physical characteristics. This research uses the addition of lime with variations of 2%, 4%, 6%, 7%, 8%, and and 10% of the soil's dry weight. Based on the standard proctor test results, the optimum mixture of 6% lime was obtained with a value of γdmax = 1.459 gr/cm3and Wopt= 28.052%. Furthermore, the original soil and 6% lime mixture were tested: sieve and hydrometer analysis, Atterberg limits, standard proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), laboratory CBR (soaked) and 1 cycle drying -wetting testing. At 6% lime for UCS and CBR testing, 0, 7 and 14 days of curing were conducted. The results of research on the initial soil and after 6% lime stabilization, namely the soil classification based on USCS originally included in CH, namely non-organic loamy soilwith high plasticity or fat clays to SM, namely silty sand and based on AASHTO originally included in A-7-6 clay soil to A-7-5 clay soil, from PI = 43.232% to PI = 16.213%, from CBR = 0.917% to CBR with 0, 7, and 14 days of curing are 11.463%, 14.266%, and 19.408%, from qu = 0.967 kg/cm2to qu with 0, 7, and 14 days of curing are 2.973 kg/cm2, 9.546 kg/cm2and 12.206 kg/cm2. After 1 cycle drying -wetting test, there is a decrease in qu value, namely in the initial soil of 93.004% and 6% lime stabilized soil of 73.040%.

Abstract

The National Road Section Demak - Kudus is one of the most populous road sections connecting East Java province with West Java province through the city of Semarang. Repeated damage conditions raise the suspicion that the subgrade under the road body has special criteria that need further handling before repairs are made to the pavement. In addition, based on the soft soil distribution map and soil data with the results of existing laboratory testing, categorized as soft soil. For this reason, it is necessary to handle the subgrade to improve soil parameters, which is physical and mechanical. Therefore, chemical stabilization was chosen to obtain a chemical reaction from the soil. The selected chemicals to induce these reactions is coal combustion waste which are fly ash and bottom ash. Exhibiting pozzolanic properties that can react and cause flocculation in the soil. The research involves mixing the soil with stabilizing materials in three different combinations: first, soil mixed by fly ash (FA); second, soil mixed by bottom ash (BA); and third, soil mixed by both fly ash with bottom ash (FABA), optimum stabilizing mixture material at 20%. The initial soil, which is highly plastic clay with a classification of CH/A-7-6, having a plasticity index (PI) of 43.23% and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 0.92%, undergoes improvement with adding FA stabilizer, resulting in MH/A-7-5 with a PI of 27.07% and CBR of 12.39%. The mixture of soil with FABA is MH/A-7-5 with a PI of 28.87% and CBR of 9.60%. However, the improvement in the mixture of soil with BA is not as significant, remaining in the CH/A-7-6 category with a PI of 31.83% and CBR of 3.00%.
