Development and Evaluation of Chemical Soil Stabilizers

This report documents the results of a 20-year cooperative effort between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the chemical industry to develop and evaluate chemicals for soil stabilization. All evaluated substances were either ineffective or only marginally effective as principal or broad-scale soil stabilizers; however, some were suitable for improvement of local soils or for short-term correction of adverse soil conditions. Results are briefly discussed.
