ses humus and in this way enables the building of forest roads with the minimum use
of stone material. The very use of stabilisation means enabled the lowering of the
height of forest road level lines in relation to the classical building method.


PowerCem represents the efficient cement additive produced in the Netherlands
pursuant to ISO 9001 and 14002 standards. PowerCem is a light grey powder which
consists of alkaline and earth alkaline elements, i.e. chosen complex compounds. The
chosen components were made on the resistance base where each component contributes
to one or more characteristics within the complex chemical and mineralogical
process. Apart from the increased resistance to pressure, PowerCem improves the
immobilisation of damaging substances which endanger the environment. This includes
heavy metals and organic matters which permanently strengthen in new crystal
structures.


Upon the completion of the stabilisation process, usually after a day, the surface
can be burdened by some heavy machine or planned useful layers can be laid down.
The final stabiliser quality is achieved in approximately 91 days.


In the forest administration Strošinci the soil stabilisation was performed on 28.


09. 2005 by PowerCem on the area of 400 m2. The stabilisation was performed by
“Mixed-In-Place” technology. The existing soil is humus with humidity of 35 %. Due
to lack of special machines in stabilisation performance, various machines were
used: excavator, grader, agricultural fraiser, vibratory roller and cistern.
According to data obtained by the examination, i.e. measurement by a circular
plate o30 on a trial route, after 24 hours the increase of the compressibility module (Ms)
can be seen from the initial 6,80 MN/m2 to 39,50 to 75,00 MN/m2 in relation to


the examination position. The last examination carried out after fourteen days shows


on c
that the compressibility module is stabilisedi
iin
nn a range from 52,60 to 62,50 MN/m2


i.e. about 60 MN/m2.
Obtained examination results indicate that the compressibility model of the stabilised
forest soil layer corresponds to the smallest compressibility module for ballast
bed Ms = MN/m2, and it is far above the smallest value for the classical stabilised
soil Ms = 20 MN/m2.
The price of building 1 km of the forest road by PowerCem is 131,340 €, while
the price of the classically built forest road is 182,960,00 € which represents the
saving of 28 % or 51,622.00 €/km.
Soil stabilisation by PowerCem application belongs to improved and modernised
chemical stabilisation of soil by cement. One of the greatest advantages obtained
by this stabilisation is the use of humus, i.e. organic part of soil, which has so
far been considered useless. Special machines are used in work and if they are not
available, machines which are used in classical stabilisation by cement are used
(Pičman, Pentek, 1998).
All the advantages of this stabilisation can be divided in four basic groups:


Stabilised soil quality
Works on soil stabilisation performance
Ecological evaluation
Economic evaluation
The most important and the most significant quality advantages in relation to the
classical building of forest roads are as follows:


High bearing capacity
Very good elasticity values
Resistance to freezing
Stabilised soil does not absorb seepage water
Resistance to acids
Durability
