Abstract

Stabilization is the mixing of soil with other materials, one of which is polyacrylamide (PAM) synthetic polymer. Subgrade stabilization was carried out on local soil at Jalan Cisasawi, Desa Cihanjuang with the percentage of PAM addition of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12% of soil weight. This is done to get a high CBR value. In laboratory tests, PAM was shown to increase the bearing capacity of the soil to the optimum at 8% PAM content from dry weight. At 10% and 12% PAM percentages, the soil experienced a decrease in bearing capacity because it was no longer able to accept other substances from outside. CBR testing with 8% PAM content resulted in a soaked CBR value of 16.4% and an unsoaked CBR of 20.5%. In the Free Compressive Strength test with 4% PAM content, PAM can increase the compressive strength value by 162%, 6% PAM by 207% and 8% PAM by 226% of the original soil compressive strength. It was also calculated the unit price of mixing PAM with soil per 1 m3 as a reference for making a cost budget plan, it was proven that the unit price increased as the percentage of PAM increased.

Abstract

Roads must have safety and comfort, which can be seen through the condition of the pavement. A good pavement is influenced by a good bearing capacity of the subgrade. Not infrequently, road damage that occurs is caused by a lack of bearing capacity of the subgrade (CBR<6). One way to improve the bearing capacity of the subgrade is to stabilize it with polyacrylamide (PAM) synthetic polymer. Subgrade stabilization was carried out on local soil at Jalan Cisasawi, Desa Cihanjuang with a percentage of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12% of the dry soil weight. From the results of laboratory CBR testing, calculations were made to determine the effect on the thickness of flexible pavement using the SKBI 1987 method. After the calculation, it can be concluded that the CBR value affects the thickness of the flexible pavement layer. The greater the subgrade CBR value, the thinner the pavement thickness (with 8% polyacrylamide). This has been proven in the calculation where PAM managed to increase the bearing capacity of the soil to the maximum at 8% PAM content (soaked CBR 16.4% and unsoaked CBR 20.5%) and the thickness of the lower foundation layer is 25 cm (the thinnest among other levels).
