Abstract

The subject of soil stabilization has been reviewed. The various stabilizing agents and the different methods of soil stabilization have been considered. Soil stability is dependent on the two important properties of soils-cohesion and internal-friction. A proper adjustment of these two properties and also water proofing are the main lines of approach to the problem of soil stabilization
