ABSTRACT
Soil stabilization is the alteration of one or more soil properties, by mechanical or chemical means, to improve the engineering properties of soil. Stabilization can be achieved through mechanical or chemical means. In chemical stabilization, a number of stabilizers, such as, SRUWODQGFHPHQW OLPHÀ\DVKIRDPHGDVSKDOWFKHPLFDOFRPSRXQGVRU OLTXLGVWDELOL]HU or a combination of some of these, have been successfully used in the past. Existing work indicates that most of these stabilizers could be used for tropical residual soils in road construction.
