Soil stabilization methods help to improve the strength of the soil by enhancing its engineering properties. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/applications\/soil-stabilization\/\"><b>Soil stabilization<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0involves the alteration of one or more of the soil properties <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">collectively using techniques of modification to enhance both the physical and mechanical properties of the soil for specific applications through controlled modification of soil texture, plasticity, structure and durability. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">suitability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of the soil <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for construction purposes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is measured in terms of the size <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and distribution<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of its particles and as such is described as well-graded or poorly graded. The main purpose of undertaking the process is to prepare the land and build a strong foundation that can support the design loading. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Processes include compaction and potentially stabilization<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to increase soil strength and durability as well as to suppress dust formation and <a href=\"http:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/soil-erosion-causes-types-impacts\/\">prevent soil erosion<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The advantages of soil stabilization include significant improvement of durability and strength and hence bearing capacity and eliminating the need for expensive surface treatments. Dust control, waterproofing, and promotion of waste geomaterials in construction are among many other reasons. However, the cost of raw materials can be increased with limitations due to location and expenses incurred due to the transportation of raw materials in cases where marginal materials cannot be utilized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The methods of soil stabilization used to improve the engineering properties of soil are broadly classified into two categories \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chemical stabilization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mechanical stabilization<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>CHEMICAL SOIL STABILIZATION<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chemical stabilization alters the chemical properties of the soil through the use of admixtures. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies have shown about 18 different chemical mechanism namely: exchange of cations, exchange of anions, adsorption, fixation, formation of new minerals, cementation, salt conversion, modification of water films, adsorption of water films, enrichment of pore water with ions, modification of capillary forces, modification of the electrical surface tension of clay minerals, modification of the electrical forces between particles, modification of chemically bound water, adsorption of chemically bound water, neutralization of acids, neutralization of bases, and proton exchange. Outcomes that are expected can be obtained from laboratory tests, the quantity required for chemical additives needed to effectively achieve stabilization is usually small, the chemical mechanism is not time intensive and effectiveness regardless of soil engineering properties are some of the benefits of chemical stabilization\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The limitations of chemical soil stabilization include disparity between simulated laboratory and field conditions could render <a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/insitu-stabilization-material-report\/\">insitu<\/a> application impossible, the risk of groundwater contamination is very high as a result of the release of toxic compounds from some of the traditional agents as the leachate of toxic chemicals can affect the environment and human life in general, the balance between cost of chemical soil stabilizer and quantity required to achieve effective stabilization can be a challenge and in prevalent unsuitable conditions the effect of chemical stabilization can result in further detrimental conditions of the soil for instance in the soil-lime-sulphate reactions and stabilization induced cracking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A significant challenge with chemical\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">soil stabilization<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is that one needs to have a good engineering judgment &#8211; which only comes from experienced engineers and technicians managing the process. The type of soil, the right additive, the right amount to be used and the right application process are aspects to factor in when using this method of stabilizing soils. If either of them goes wrong, the end result can be the opposite of the desired ones resulting in a total waste of time and higher monetary losses. Additives are combined with the soil using heavy-duty machinery. The best machine to achieve the task is a stabilizer\/reclaimer rotary mixer. It breaks up the soil and mixes the additive mixture as evenly as possible. The other equipment used to accomplish the task includes water tankers, motor graders, pad foot rollers, rubber tyre rollers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are different types of additives available on the market. As already mentioned above, specific additives work with specific soil types. Portland cement, quicklime or hydrated lime, fly ash, calcium chloride and bitumen as some of the mechanical and chemical additives added to it. Chemical additives work differently to stabilize soils. Some act as binders, other increase soil density while a few alter the effect of moisture on the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MECHANICAL SOIL STABILIZATION<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mechanical stabilization involves the use of physical processes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is the modification of soil porosity and inter-particle friction or interlock for example by compaction.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Unlike chemical stabilization, it changes only the physical properties of soil through compaction, soil blending (adding fibrous and non-biodegradable reinforcement) or placing a barrier on the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In geotechnical engineering, soil compaction is a process wherein pressure is applied to soils by means of heavy machinery. It displaces air from the pores and causes soil densification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mechanism to mechanical stabilization involves the addition of different grades of materials to achieve a dense-packed material and addition of small amount of fine materials as binders for non-cohesive soils to enhance the strength of the material. Sands and gravels with strong angularity impart internal friction and incompressibility to the mix, which renders stabilization with the addition of a suitable binder loading. Mechanical stabilization also promotes the use of locally available materials in a fit for purpose approach and utilization of mine tailings, coral, shell, clinker, slags and construction waste just to mention but a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The factors affecting the mechanical stability of soils include;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mechanical strength and purity of the constituent materials\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Percentage of materials and their gradation in the mix\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Degree of soil binding taking place\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mixing, rolling, and compaction procedures adopted in the field<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Environmental and climatic conditions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regulating the amount of pressure when compacting is important as excess pressure disintegrates soil aggregates and causes them to lose their engineering properties. Soil reinforcement is another method employed in mechanical stabilization of soils. In this method, soils are reinforced by adding geotextiles and plastic mesh to arrest soil erosion and change features such as soil permeability. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Geosynthetic materials such as geogrids and geotextiles are used in mechanical stabilization improve soil strength and soil engineering properties through particle interlocking, confinement, frictional resistance and tensile strength. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Besides this, graded aggregate materials are added to soils to decrease soil plasticity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strategies for the ground are integral to Global Road Technology\u2019s services. It has developed a range of liquid soil stabilizers that bring in improvements such as enhanced strength, higher density, reduced water permeability and better bearing capacities. The products are designed to be environmentally-friendly and are easy to apply for a number of applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Road Technology&#8217;s staffing capabilities consist of experienced civil engineers, water engineers, geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers and industry experts to ensure we always have the right qualified onsite technicians and staff to assist with any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">soil stabilization<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0applications needed for your project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>It\u2019s our goal to keep industries moving, create better roads for rural communities, and safer road infrastructure in low to middle-income countries.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Your feedback is important to us.
