Abstract

The Stabilization entails any change which kind of modifies or renders the soil or any other substance. The purpose of Stabilizing soil is to increase the strength of soil and also as improve resistance for softening through water bond and these soil particles systematized, also water proofing the particles or both combined together. The use of cement and lime was used for very long time in previous times and it was working well and had enormous advantages but now the use of cement is used less because of the cost of cement and contrary effects on the environment from its manufacture. Stabilizing is quite different from modification which implies only a minor change in properties of soil or rock The increasing harm of emitting of co2 through cement manufacturing also the growing cost of additives has lead to the rise of growth of other stabilization such as plastic materials, ash of wood or rice cover, glass fiber, etc.
