ABSTRACT

The primary aim of this chapter was to review studies on the stabilization of problematic soils using cement and lime. The suitability of a soil for effective stabilization and the most appropriate stabilizing agent are dependent on the mineralogical composition of the soil. The proposed classifications of anisotropic engineering behavior of cement-treated clay mixtures will aid in providing solutions to the problem of predicting the suitability of silty-clayey material for cement stabilization.
