Abstract:
The collected dataset derives from the laboratory testing of
bentonite clay investigated as a stabilization technology for
the unbound layers of road pavements. The effect of two
kinds of bentonite (calcium based and sodium based) are
assessed on two aggregate types commonly used as road
construction materials. The investigation program, performed
by means of repeated load triaxial tests, encompasses the
different combinations of bentonite and aggregate types;
two replicate specimens are tested dried for each condition.
Considering the global need for ensuring well-performing
road infrastructures while employing environmentally sound
construction technologies, this dataset documenting the potential of bentonite clays used as road stabilizers can be
of interest for several road stakeholders
