performing compaction and stiffness tests on the native (unstabilized) material,

followed by similar tests on stabilized soils at specified stabilization material

contents. Obtaining the combination of unstabilized and stabilized soil
parameters allows the degree of improvement to be quantified, which allows the
designer to account for this improvement in the design of the roadway. This will
allow a more efficient and less expensive roadway design that takes advantage of
.the improved subgrade properties due to stabilization
