Popis: This study investigated the effects of the addition of a carboxylated styrene–butadiene emulsion (CSBE) and Portland cement on the long-term performance of road base. The specimens stabilised with Portland cement (0–6%) and CSBE (5–10%) were subjected to different stress sequences in order to study the unconfined compressive strength, flexural strength (FS), soaked and unsoaked California bearing ratio, dynamic creep and wheel-tracking characteristics of seven-day-cured specimens. The FS tests showed that the addition of a 4% Portland cement–7% CSBE mixture resulted in improvements of 48.9% of modulus of rupture as compared to the sample with 4% cement. The permanent strain behaviour of the samples was assessed by the Zhou three-stage creep model. The results of dynamic creep and wheel-tracking tests showed that the permanent deformation characteristics were considerably improved by the addition of a 4% Portland cement–7% CSBE mixture, which resulted in reduction of permanent strain of the mixture...
