Abstract: The clay often is weak and has no enough stability in heavy loading. In this regard, it is necessary to reinforce and or stabilize the soil. Stabilization in a broad sense incorporates the various methods employed for modifying the properties of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Stabilization is being used for a variety of engineering works, the most common application being in the construction of road and airfield pavements, where the main objective is to increase the strength or stability of soil and to reduce the construction cost by making best use of locally available materials. Stabilization is process of fundamentally changing the chemical properties of soft soils by adding binders or stabilizers, either in wet or dry conditions to increase the strength and stiffness of the originally weak soils.
Soil stabilization is a way of improving the weight bearing capabilities and performance of in situ sub soils, sands, and other waste materials in order to strengthen road surfaces. The prime objective of soil stabilization is to improve the California Bearing Ratio of in situ soils. The other prime objective of soil stabilization is to improve onsite materials to create a solid and strong sub base and base courses. In certain regions of the world, typically developing countries and now more frequently in developed countries, soil stabilization is being used to construct the entire road.
