Course Description
This course aims to introduce theory, techniques and applications of chemical and mechanical stabilization of soils and aggregates used in construction and maintenance of roads, railroads, and airfields. Chemical stabilization includes use of lime, cement, fly ash, and emulsions as compaction aids to soils, as binders and water repellents, to treat weak soils and aggregates. Mechanical stabilization deals with the use of non-biodegradable reinforcement, such as geosynthetics and fibers, to improve strength and stiffness.
