Abstract

Researchers are still seeking for the best soil stabilizers to solve difficulties that arise in expansive soils, while also considering cost and environmental impact. This research was based on expansive soil stabilization using nontraditional Stabilization because traditional soil stabilization is more expansive in transportation and has pollution challenges. Expansive soils are ineffectual because of their shrink-swell tendency, water content, high permeability and compressibility, and low shear strength. Expansive Soil failures cause many problems such as excessive settlement, substructure failure, and damage to the superstructure. Methods for improving soil properties are discussed in this paper to reach the goal. Ionic, lignosulfonates, salts, enzymes, polymers, tree resins, and petroleum resins are the nontraditional soil stabilizing agents discussed. For this research, a nontraditional stabilizer had a significant impact on improving soil stability. Therefore, this paper recommends future research to enhance the implementation of non-traditional stabilizer mechanisms in specific engineering applications.

AB  - Researchers are still seeking for the best soil stabilizers to solve difficulties that arise in expansive soils, while also considering cost and environmental impact. This research was based on expansive soil stabilization using nontraditional Stabilization because traditional soil stabilization is more expansive in transportation and has pollution challenges. Expansive soils are ineffectual because of their shrink-swell tendency, water content, high permeability and compressibility, and low shear strength. Expansive Soil failures cause many problems such as excessive settlement, substructure failure, and damage to the superstructure. Methods for improving soil properties are discussed in this paper to reach the goal. Ionic, lignosulfonates, salts, enzymes, polymers, tree resins, and petroleum resins are the nontraditional soil stabilizing agents discussed. For this research, a nontraditional stabilizer had a significant impact on improving soil stability. Therefore, this paper recommends future research to enhance the implementation of non-traditional stabilizer mechanisms in specific engineering applications.
