A Review Study of Techniques and Use of Thermal Stabilization of Soil

Abstract

The process of stabilization is performed at a large scale by using various procedures to improve and modify soil properties. Searching a good method for stabilization is really a big deal of concern till date. Thermal stabilization is one of an important method among the various methods of soil stabilization. The paper’s objective is to review the different thermal stabilization techniques based on previous experimental studies. The point of attention is comparison of thermal stabilization with other method.

Evaluating the improvement of clay performance with different percentages of cement and lime

“…Choosing a soil stabilization method is a challenging task, requiring soil engineers to consider technical, economic, human resources, machinery, personal experience, and test results in selecting the optimal method. Generally, soil improvement or stabilization methods can be categorized as follows: 1) Mechanical stabilization, 2) Electrical stabilization, 3) Thermal stabilization, 4) Stabilization by cooling, 5) Stabilization by drainage, 6) Chemical stabilization, 7) Lime stabilization, 8) Cement stabilization, 9) Bitumen stabilization, and 10) Geogrid stabilization [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
