This study presents the basis for evaluating promising soil stabilization products using the relatively new technique of deeply mixing chemical additives into unpaved roadbeds. The work is in response to an amendment to House Bill 1400, Item 490, No. 1h, passed by Virginia's 2003 General Assembly, that called for the Virginia Transportation Research Council to continue its evaluation of soil stabilizers as an alternative to paving low-volume secondary roads. This work is based on the construction of a 1.75-mile-long trial installation on Old Wheatland Road in Loudoun County wherein seven different commercially available stabilization products were applied to the unpaved road.
