Abstract

Soil stabilization is a method of improving soil properties by blending and mixing bituminous materials. Soil is used sub base and base material, if strength of soil is poor, then stabilization is usually required. Subgrade is sometimes stabilized or changed with solider soil. Soil could be black cotton or as fly ash which could fly in interaction with air. There are many stabilizers used for stabilizing the soil such as, cement, lime, bitumen, fly ash etc., in this paper bitumen as stabilizer. If good earth is not available at the construction site, it becomes imperative to opt for soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is a process to treat a soil to maintain or improve the performance of the soil as a construction material. The stabilizing agent improves the strength parameters of sub grade of road pavement and leads to strengthening of embankment. The objective of this thesis is to review the applications of different stabilizing agents such as lime, fly ash, cement, rice husk, expanded polystyrene geofoam and waste paper sludge for different type of soil. In this research we accumulate the literature of some common material and their end use and conclusions.
