| Summary: | Clay soils can exhibit characteristics that hinder optimal construction of buildings or pavements. Among these characteristics are their ability to absorb and retain large amounts of water, making them prone to waterlogging and significant deformations. They have low permeability, which complicates drainage and increases pore pressures, and low shear strength, which leads to additional costs in design. In the city of Barranquilla, some soils in the western sector are clayey and display high plasticity and low strength. For this reason, it is imperative to improve their properties through stabilization processes. One such chemical process is called Rocamix, an additive mixed with the soil to enhance its properties. This research involves various tests aimed at demonstrating potential changes in the natural soil when treated with the Rocamix additive. Previous studies have shown that the soil's CBR (California Bearing Ratio) improves with the application of the additive. One of these studies revealed that after 21 days of immersion and curing, the material treated with Rocamix exhibited better strength conditions. Therefore, the same material and curing/immersion duration are used in this study to determine the effect of Rocamix on other physical properties, such as Atterberg limits, and mechanical properties, such as shear strength. The results indicated that the CBR expansion and soil plasticity decrease with the application of Rocamix. Additionally, improvements were observed in mechanical properties such as CBR strength and shear strength |
