Abstracts: Soil stabilization is used to reduce the permeability and compressibility of the soil mass in earth structure and to increase its shear strength. Soil stabilization is required to increase the bearing capacity of foundation soil. However, the main use of stabilization is to improve the natural soil for construction of highways and airfields. The principles of soil stabilization are used for controlling the grading of soil and aggregate in construction of bases and sub-bases of highways and airfields. Soil stabilization is also used to make an area trafficable within a short period of time for military and other emergency purposes. Sometimes, soil stabilization is used for city and suburban streets to make them more noise-absorbing.
