This paper describes current research efforts focused on characterizing subgrade soils and evaluating subgrade treatment options for a new runway to be constructed at the Chicago's O'Hare International Airport as part of the O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP). The main challenge in the project was to ensure proper sampling of the North Runway (9L-27R) stockpiled soils and selecting and identifying representative soil samples for conducting laboratory tests such as the moisture-density-CBR (California Bearing Ratio), unconfined compressive strength, and resilient modulus tests for lime treatment effectiveness. The results of the laboratory soil test program showed that 5 percent lime kiln dust was adequate for improving moisture-density-CBR properties and cured compressive strengths of the subgrade soils at the new North Runway 9L-27R of O'Hare International Airport.
