SOIL STABILIZATION PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE

This book, based mainly on experience in the Australasian environment, deals with the application of soil stabilization in construction practice (highways, airfields, dams, embankments, building foundations, and erosion protection). It shows the various means by which the stabilization response of different soils can be identified, and discusses the principal soil stabilizing materials (cement, lime and bituminous compounds), and the stabilizing effects of the mechanical admixture of soils. Machinery, methods, and some new soil stabilizer are also dealt with. /TRRL/
