A Review Paper on Strength and Durability Properties of Stabilised Soils

Abstract

With the advent of fast construction and development, the construction of road and building infrastructure has encountered enormous growth, especially since the last 3 decades. This rapid growth and large construction projects have led to the problem of scarcity of good quality natural metal aggregates which could be used in construction. One of the globally accepted methods is to replace the natural aggregates with locally available material by enhancing their characteristics and properties as per the requirements by use of stabilizers. Certain stabilisers have gained more strength than others in this field ad are being widely used around the globe in many countries. The strength is achieved by stabilisation but the durability in the longtime frame for stabilised materials is still not being explored. This paper reports some of the recent and relevant work that has been done globally regarding the stabilised soils and its strength and durability characteristics.
