Abstract

Soil stabilization for highway base course construction has been defined as "any process aimed at maintaining or improving the performance of a soil as a constructional material, usually by the use of admixtures". The object of soil stabilization is to maintain the soil in a state of high stability, or in some cases, to increase stability, Soil stabilization may be accomplished mechanically by selecting and regulating the gradation of the soil materials or it may be accomplished by adding stabilizing agents, some of which are Portland cement, lime, calcium chloride and sodium chloride.
