This study sought to determine the technical feasibility of using seismic techniques to measure the laboratory and field seismic modulus of lime-stabilized soils (LSS), and to compare/correlate test results from bench-top (free-free resonance) seismic testing on LSS cylinders to in-situ (surface seismic) testing performed on field-constructed LSS. In addition, this research sought to develop a pilot specification for quality assurance (QA) of LSS using seismic test methods.
