Appraisal on Different Sustainable Road Stabilization Techniques for Different Road Condition and Materials

Abstract:

Road condition in term of road surface condition depends on the subgrade soil strength. Therefore, a weak subgrade condition requires improvements in stabilization. Soil stabilization is the alteration of one or more geotechnical properties to create an improved soil material possessing the desired engineering properties. The main purpose of the soil stabilization is to increase the shear strength of an existing ground condition to enhance its load-bearing capacity, achieve a desired improved permeability and enhance the durability of the soil to resistance to the process of weathering, and traffic usage among others. Three method in soil stabilization considered in this study are chemical admixture, mechanical and geosynthetics methods. The difference in soil stabilization methods depends on the different road surface conditions. Road condition with weakness subgrade is more appropriate and economical in used stabilization chemical method. In this paper, discussing the road condition requires the ground improvement through soil stabilization
