Soil stabilisation for laying road foundations: Way forward with organic soil treatment

Abstract In Malaysia, the remediation of soils polluted by organic compounds is a challenging issue in environmental engineering. Improper treatment and conventional remove-and-replace approaches have low performance terms cost sustainability. Hence, chemical stabilisation has been utilised worldwide to enhance engineering properties soils. This study focused on stabilising soil using cementitious-based chemicals blended with netted-polymeric fibre improve its strength. paper reviews relevant past work as basis for pipeline. The aims determine effectiveness reinforcement shear strength characteristics stabilised sand. tensile resistance that can be mobilised normal pressures acting soil. best mixture sand, clay, content stabiliser will identified way forward. samples would then evaluated parametrically field application considerations.
