The report documents the use and cost-benefits of the above referenced four soil stabilization treatments used in the construction of low-volume roads. A life cycle costing economic analysis procedure for evaluation of pavement alternatives, i.e., gravel surfaced road and chip and seal surfaced road with and without the conditions of soil stabilization treatments is illustrated. A data base for 24 case histories with stabilization and equivalent pavement without stabilization is presented and analyzed to show benefits of stabilization. The study concludes that to realize potential benefits, soil stabilization treatments should be considered as a design alternative in all climatic regions when specification materials are not available in abundance.
