Abstract	THE FACTORS GOVERNING THE PERFORMANCE OF A MIX-IN-PLACE STABILIZATION MACHINE IN PULVERIZING SOIL ARE BEING INVESTIGATED. A TEST RIG COMPRISING A 6-FT. WIDE ROTOR MOUNTED BEHIND A 70-H.P. TRACTOR WAS SPECIALLY BUILT FOR THE INVESTIGATION. A POWER-TAKE-OFF DRIVE FROM THE TRACTOR ENGINE SUPPLIED POWER FOR THE ROTOR, WHICH WAS CAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN IN EITHER DIRECTION OF ROTATION AT A WIDE RANGE OF FORWARD AND ROTOR SPEEDS. A STRAIN GAGE TORQUE METER MOUNTED ON THE FINAL DRIVE SHAFT OF THE ROTOR ENABLED MEASUREMENTS TO BE MADE OF THE POWER ABSORBED BY THE ROTOR. A SILTY CLAY AT 19% MOISTURE CONTENT WAS USED FOR THE INVESTIGATION.
