Assessment of the Tube Suction Test for Identifying Non-Frost-Susceptible Soils Stabilized with Cement
… used to mitigate the effects of frost heave. The tube suction test (TST) is one possible method for determining the frost susceptibility of soils in the laboratory. The purpose of this research was to assess the utility of the TST for identifying non-frost-susceptible (NFS) materials stabilized …

Laboratory Comparison of Full Depth Reclamation Stabilization Techniques Using Arkansas Field Materials
… use of these mix designs in Arkansas. Initial testing to determine mix properties were performed, which included determination of gradation, Atterberg limits, and sand equivalency testing. Optimal stabilizer contents were determined using the indirect tensile strength test for asphalt emulsion …

Cement Stabilization of Aggregate Base Materials Blended with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
… strength (UCS) and final dielectric value in the Tube Suction Test (TST) were measured in a full-factorial experimental design including five RAP contents, five cement contents, and three replicate specimens of each possible treatment. Specimen mixtures consisted of 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 percent …
