title = "Dataset regarding calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite as stabilizers for roads unbound",
abstract = "The collected dataset derives from the laboratory testing of bentonite clay investigated as a stabilization technology for the unbound layers of road pavements. The effect of two kinds of bentonite (calcium based and sodium based) are assessed on two aggregate types commonly used as road construction materials. The investigation program, performed by means of repeated load triaxial tests, encompasses the different combinations of bentonite and aggregate types; two replicate specimens are tested dried for each condition. Considering the global need for ensuring well-performing road infrastructures while employing environmentally sound construction technologies, this dataset documenting the potential of bentonite clays used as road stabilizers can be of interest for several road stakeholders.",
