SOIL SOLIDIFICATION AND SOIL STABILIZATION IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION, PARTS 1 AND 2

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES SOIL SOLIDIFICATION AND STABILIZATION USING MECHANICAL METHODS, CEMENT, BITUMINOUS BINDERS, LIME, AND SOME CHEMICALS, AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF EACH METHOD. MECHANICAL STABILIZATION IMPROVES THE PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION AND INTERNAL FRICTION, STABILIZATION WITH CEMENT INCREASES THE BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL, BITUMINOUS BINDERS CAN IMPROVE THE SUB-SOIL, BUT CANNOT BE USED WITH PLASTIC SOILS. LIME CHANGES THE SOIL STRUCTURE AND IMPROVES THE SOIL, PARTICULARLY WHEN APPLIED TO COHESIVE SOILS, AND IS, THEREFORE, PARTICULARLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH THESE. BASICALLY THE METHOD SELECTED SHOULD DEPEND UPON THE SOIL BEING STABILIZED. /RRL/
