13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
This project was conducted to assist in predicting the effects of freezethaw cycling on stabilized hazardous
waste material during the 199697 freezing season. The Raymark Superfund site in Stratford, Connecticut, is
under remediation with the intent of using the area for commercial development. The site was classified as a
Superfund site in 1995. The on-site soil contains asbestos, lead, PCBs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-
VOCs, and solvents. These contaminants are by-products of the manufacturing process for heat-resistant auto-
motive parts. The stabilized waste material is being used as the subgrade material in the pavement structure.
Field testing was conducted to determine the unconfined compressive strength of the stabilized material before
and after the freezing season. Testing was completed using the Clegg impact soil tester and dynamic cone pen-
etrometer. Additionally, thermocouples were installed to estimate the depth of frost penetration that could be
expected, and to ensure that the overlying layers in the pavement structure would be adequate to prevent frost
penetration into the stabilized layer.
