OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT OF ACTUAL ROAD SITES TREATED WITH AN ORGANIC SOIL STABILIZER
In recent years, a growing number of countries have completed testing and are purchasing fermentation-based organic soil stabilizer for stabilization of soils in the base, sub-base, and sub-grade of asphalt-paved roads, or in the wear layer of unsurfaced secondary or rural roads. This paper presents further discussion of the soil properties effected by organic soil stabilizers, good engineering practices necessary for successful applications, and experiences in road stabilization in developing countries. Results from pavement projects in Brazil are provided.
