Abstract: A road base made from an existing roadbed material and a coal-combustion by-product comprises: a tilled roadbed soil, a coal-combustion fly ash blended into the tilled roadbed soil at 5 to 50 percent by weight, and a site-specific quantity of an emulsion blended into the tilled roadbed soil after the coal-combustion fly ash. The emulsion includes a resin base, and the site-specific quantity ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 gallons per square yard, depending on a type of the tilled roadbed soil, and further depending on a type of the coal-combustion fly ash.

Abstract: A composition and method for use of a soy-based material binder is provided. One example method for increasing road stabilization with a soy-based material binder may include determining road base attributes of the road base for application. The method may further include creating a soy-based material binder comprising at least one of a soy protein isolate with a concentration in the range of 1 to 20% of soy protein isolate based on road base attributes. The method may further include determining an amount of soy-based material binder for a volume of application based on the concentration of soy protein isolate in the soy-based material binder and the road base attributes. Further still, the method may include combining the soy-based material binder and the road base wherein the resultant mixture includes soy-based material binder in a range of 0.0001-5 gallons per pound of road base.

Abstract: A mixture, comprising of fly ash and an emulsion, where said emulsion is mixed with said fly ash in a range of 5% to 50% of fly ash per an area of a square yard and 0.5 gallons to 2.5 gallons per square yard of the emulsion to said area.
