A Review on Stabilization of Expansive Soil Using Different Methods
Abstract: Expansive soils are difficult soils for construction purposes because of their cyclic swell/shrink behavior. These soils undergo significant expansion when subjected to an increase in water content or shrink under evaporation condition (when water out). Bulging soils can be improved in several ways. Either by adding materials such as cement, lime, sand and adding river mixture soil. or these soils treated with chemical additives. When added to expansive soils in …
