    The addition of electric arc furnace slag and ladle furnace slag on strength improvement of lateritic soil was studied in this work. Liquid limit, plasticity index, and the California bearing ratio of lateritic soil mixed with the slags were determined in comparison to those of ordinary lateritic soil. A scanning electron microscope was used to confirm the effect of those two slags on microstructures related to chemical components of raw materials and the strength of lateritic soil. The deterioration of California bearing ratio, liquid limit, and plastic index values were obtained when the electric arc furnace slag was mixed in lateritic soil. Meanwhile, the California bearing ratio of lateritic soil was highly improved with the addition of ladle furnace slag, owing to the hydration reaction between water and excess lime in ladle furnace slag with free silica in lateritic soil. The values of the plasticity index were also comparable to the ordinary lateritic soil. Microstructures confirmed a highly compacted surface of mixed lateritic soil with ladle furnace slag. The ladle furnace slag is therefore one of the promising alternative low-cost materials for the soil-stabilizing application.

    The effect of concurrent use of liquid polymer and Portland cement as a reinforced material in crushed rock pavement base was investigated in this work. The strength of polymer-treated crushed rock (treated crushed rock) and ordinary crushed rock (untreated crushed rock) were characterized and compared. In strength analysis, the California bearing ratios (CBR) of untreated and treated crushed rock were determined under unsoaked and soaked conditions to simulate post-flood pavement damage. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) was evaluated under unsoaked conditions for 2h, 1-day, 3-day, 7-day, and 28-day curing periods. The results showed that the CBR of untreated and treated crushed rock under soaked and unsoaked conditions were positively correlated with dry density. The CBR under the unsoaked condition of untreated crushed rock was identical to that of treated crushed rock. Meanwhile, under the soaked condition, the CBR of treated crushed rock was twice as higher than the untreated crushed rock. The swelling indices were 0% for both untreated and treated samples. The UCS of treated crushed rock showed positively correlation with the curing time. The use of liquid polymer and Portland cement, therefore, improved the strength of crushed rock pavement base in which effectively mitigate the post-flood pavement damage.
