Abstract:

This study is intended to increase the bearing capacity of expansive clay as subgrade of highway. Compressive strength of compacted original soil is 0.27 kg/cm2, and laboratory CBR value (unsoaked) is 8.9%, therefore carried out stabilization with quicklime, activated by gum rosin and iron oxide. Design mix composition resulting proportions on weigh, 100 quick lime : 10 gum rosin : 8 iron oxide which is then named KA for stabilizers. Samples are made with variation KA 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the dry weight of the soil, and then tested with UCS, CBR, and Hydraulic Compressibility. Test results show that soil + 20% KA at 28 days curing, the UCS value is 117.78 kg/cm2. On 7 days curing, soil + 5% quicklime obtained CBR value is 14.82%, and soil + 5% KA obtained CBR value is 45.06% (increased by 300%). Hydraulic compressibility test result show that the soil sample is impermeable. The activation of gum rosin and iron oxide improve the performance of lime o
