What is soil Stabilization?

Soil stabilization is a method of improving soil properties by blending

and mixing other materials.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT ?

Basic Techniques

Mechanical

Chemical

Polymer/Alternative

Mechanical

• oldest type

• Dynamic compaction

• Vibro compaction

Chemical

• Adding an additional material to the soil that will physically interact with it and change its properties.

• compounds that utilize cement, lime, fly ash, or kiln dust.

Polymer/Alternative

• Newer discovery

• cheaper

• More effective

• less dangerous for the environment

• Increased shear strength

• Tensile strength and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of the soil

• “It resulted in higher strengths and stiffness than cement and more elasticity”, says Dr. Eyad Masad, a professor in mechanical engineering at the university (TAMUQ).

MECHANICAL CHEMICAL Polymer/Alternative

Cost Analysis

cost of stabilization of soil for any project is reduced to 40-50 % by

applying technique of polymers as soil stabilizer.
