In chemical stabilization, soil is stabilized by adding different chemicals. The main advantage of chemical stabilization is that setting time and curing time can be controlled. Chemical stabilization is however generally more expensive than other types of stabilization. Factors Affecting Chemical Stabilization of Soils Chemical soil stabilization is affected by some chemical materials as this […]
Lime Stabilization | Factors Affecting, Advantages and Disadvantages
Lime stabilization is not effective for sandy soils. However these soils can be stabilized with clay, fly ash etc which serve as hydraulically reactive ingredients. The ratio of fly ash to lime generally varies in between 3 to 5. The fly ash is used is about 10 to 20% of the soil weight. Factors […]
Cement Stabilization of Soil
Cement stabilization of soil is done by mixing pulverized soil and Portland cement with water and compacting the mix to attain a strong material. The material obtained by mixing soil and cement is known as soil-cement. The soil cement becomes a hard and durable structural material as the cement hydrates and develops strength. Cement stabilization is […]
