55. Using Enzymes in soil stabilization
Terms Used in Road Construction
57. The Challenge faced when dealing with site
Engineers:
Existing pavement design methods cater to relatively high
volumes of traffic with damaging effect quantified in terms
of ESA (equivalent standard axles). In contrast, main
factors controlling deterioration of LVRs (Low Volume
Roads) are dominated by the local road environment and
details of design (drainage), construction and maintenance
practice.
Conventional specs apply to “ideal” materials
Standard methods of test do not always give a true
assessment of performance of local materials
Go Green With
Bio-Enzymes
58. Primary Problem faced:
“ The art of the roads engineer consists for a good part in
utilizing specifications that will make possible the use of
materials he finds in the vicinity of the road works.
Unfortunately, force of habit, inadequate specifications
and lack of initiative have suppressed the use of local
materials and innovative construction technologies”
Consider materials’ “fitness for purpose”
Make specification fit materials rather than materials fit
specification (“resource based” specs)
Go Green With
Bio-Enzymes
60. Selection of material for construction:
Material strength derived from combination of:
- Cohesive effects
- Soil suction
- Physio-chemical (stab) forces
- Inter-particle friction
Material selection influenced by:
- Traffic loading
- Environment
- Material properties (plastic mod)
- Pavement configuration

61. Wide variety of chemical additives available
including:
Wetting agents to improve compaction
Hygroscopic salts (e.g. calcium, magnesium or sodium
chlorides)
Natural polymers (e.g. ligno sulphonates)
Synthetic polymer emulsions (e.g. acrylates)
Modified waxes
