Abstract

Stabilisation is a technique that has been used to strengthen road pavement
materials for many years in Australia. Stabilising the natural subgrade soils to
create a subbase layer as part of new pavement construction in the Goulburn
Valley region, is however, quite rare. This particular practice has been used in
other areas of Australia and it is considered that a significant depth reduction to
overlying granular pavement material may be achieved where stabilisation of the
Goulburn Valley soils is incorporated into new pavement construction.
