Popis: The strength and water-absorption characteristics of three types of soil stabilized with resorcinol/formaldehyde resin have been investigated. The effects of varying (1) the resin concentration, (2) the age of the mixture, and (3) the concentration of added hydrated lime on these characteristics have been examined. The influence of (1) and (3), and of temperature and the presence of certain soil constituents on the setting time of the resin has also been studied. Small proportions (1 to 10%) of the resin were found to increase the seven-day strength and reduce the water absorption of the compacted soils. Setting of the resin was accelerated by the addition of hydrated lime and by increasing the temperature.
