A Review of Advantages and Methods of Soil Stabilization
Keywords:
soil, cementationAbstract
Some of the ‘green technologies’ are: enzymes, surfactants, biopolymers, synthetic polymers, co-polymer based products, cross-linking styrene acrylic polymers, tree resins, ionic stabilizers, fiber reinforcement, calcium chloride, calcite, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and more. Some of these new stabilizing techniques create hydrophobic surfaces and mass that prevent prevents road failure from water penetration or heavy frosts by inhibiting the ingress of water into the treated layer.
