FOREWORD

Standard (Part IX) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 25 September 1970, after the draft finalized by the Soil Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Soil stabilization is the alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. There are several methods of stabilization and these may be broadly on the basis of treatment given to the soil (for example, dewatering and compaction ) , process involved (for example, thermal and electrical) -and on additives employed (for example, asphalt and cement ) . The choice of a particular method depends on the characteristics of the problem on hand. For studying in the laboratory, the methods and effects of stabilization. certain standard methods of test for the evaluation of properties of stabilized soils and their. analysis are required. The required standards on methods of test for stabilized soils are being published in parts. This part (Part IX ) lays down the method for the determination of the bituminous stabilizer content of bitumen and tar stabilized soils. 0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in this field in this country. Of In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS : Z-1960*.

soil mixture. It is not suitable for use in climatic conditions where the ambient temperature exceeds 30C because of the high rate of evaporation of the solvent used in the test. I 2. GROUPING
OF SOIL

2.1 For the purpose of this standard, soils shall be grouped -as given below : Fine-Grained Soils - Soils containing particles over about 90 percent of which pass a 2*36-mm IS Sieve (see IS : 460-1962* ) Medium-Grained Soils - Soils containing particles over about 90 percent of which pass a 20-mm IS Sieve (set IS: 460-1962*) Coarse-Grained Soils --Soils containing particles over about 90 percent of which pass a 40-mm IS Sieve ( see IS : 44jO1962* ) 3. APPARATUS 3.1 BaIance readable and accurate to O*OOlg.

Other sealing compound, such as plaster of paris mixed with asbestos fibre may be used. Alternatively, the filtration assembly may be replaced with a centrifuge capable of speed up to at least 4000 rev/min when carrying two or more buckets fitted with centrifuge tubes of 50 ml capacity and having adiameter not less than 28 cm from tip of the rotating tubes. The tubes shall be closed with caps. 3.9 Burette -of 50 ml with a two-way tap, connected to the filtering assembly in the manner shown in Fig. 2.

IS : 4332 ( Part IX ) -1970 6. PROCEDURE 6.1 The representative samples of the soil-bituminous stabilizer mixture, obtained as in 5 containing a known weight of water (a g) [ which shall be determined in accordance with IS : 4332 (Part 1X)-1967*] shall be weighed to the nearest 0.01 percent of the weight taken (tl) and introduced into a wide-mouthed metal bottle of appropriate capacity. Powdered silica gel shall be added to absorb water, the quantity being equal to half the weight of water present. In the case of fine-grained soils, three steel balls shall then be placed in the bottle to assist in breaking down the mix. A volume of dichloromethane measured to the nearest 0.5 percent of the volume taken ( V ml) shall be added to the soil in sufficient quantity to obtain a solution containing 2 to 3 percent of stabilizer. After insertion of the rubber stopper, the bottle shall be shaken for 30 minutes on the mechanical shaker in the case of fine-grained soils and for 60 minutes in the case of medium- and coarse-grained soils.

6.2 A portion of the soil stabilizer solution so obtained shall be filtered through the alumina or porous filter into the burette by the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, or [Link] centrifuged. If the solution is to he centrifuged, the centrifuge tubes shall be tightly stoppered to avoid losses due to evapration. Sufficient quantity of the solution ( v ml ) shall then be transferred by means of a burette into 200 ml carbon dioxide flask, the weight of which shall be known to the nearest 0.001 g, to give an estimated weight of approximately 0.75-1.25 g of recovered stabilizer. If the first amount obtained lies outside these limits another suitably adjusted portion of the solution shall be taken. The flask shall then be connected to the vacuum line, the manometer and the reservoir, and placed in a water-bath maintained at 100C (see Fig. 3). The bulk of the solvent shall be evaporated with the pressure reduced to 500 f 50 mm Hg, the flask being shaken with a rotary motion during the course of the evaporation. For complete removal of solvent one of the following procedures shall be adopted :

For Bitumen Emulsions, Tar Emulsions, or Tars Above 42C Equiviscvus Temjwrature - In the last stages of evaporation, when frothing occurs, pressure shall be reduced to 150 mm Hg in 14 minutes and maintained at this [Link] a further 3f minutes. For jJei,trokum Oils, Cut-Back Bitumens or Tars of 42C Equit;iscous Temperature, or Below - In the last stages of evaporation, when frothing occurs, the pressure in the apparatus shall be increased to approximately atmospheric and subsequently lowered to Part II Determinationof moisture con-t 7

The reduced pressure may conveniently be obtained by a water filter-pump; if this is not available a suitable mechanical vacuum pump may be used, in which case the following procedures shah be adopted : The bulk of the methylene chloride shall be distilled off before connecting the flask to the vacuum line. To ensure that solvent vapour does not reach the pump, the flask shall be connected to the pump through a reservoir consisting of a Rask containing lubricating oil of medium viscosity, followed by a tower containing activated carbon ( 1.4 mm to 780 microns). The procedure subsequently followed shall be as given in 6.2 (a) and(b). 6.3 The flask shall be romoved from the water bath and air admitted gently to the apparatus. After wiping the tlaak, the last trace of dichloromethane shall be removed by means of a gentle air current. The ilask &ah then be cooled for 5 minutes in a desiccator and weighed to the nearest 0901 g and the weight of recovered stabilizer ( Wr ) determined by diffbrence. 6.4 Soluble Portion of htrtrrtd Soil-A test shall be carried out under the same conditions on the untreated soil to determine the quantity ( W,g) which may be soluble in dichloromethane, and this shall be deducted from the total soluble content of the stabilized soil. Unless the soil has been previously stabilized with bitumen, however, the soluble portion is us~&ly negligible and may be ignored. 65 -1ubJe Portion of Stibilizn - Bitumens are generally completely soluble in dichloromethane, but some petroleum stabilizing oils may contain .wax which is insoluble; similarly, certain naturally-occuring bitumens may contain insoluble mineral matter. Refined tars also contam a proportion of material insoluble in dichloromethane. In such cases allowance shall be made for the insoluble portion in the calculation of the total stabilizer content. The insoluble matter shah be determined by dissolving a representative portion of the stabilizer in dichloromethane and filtering through a Gooch or sintered silica crucible or a filter paper. The percentage of soluble stabilizer (P) shall then he calculated.
