TL;DR: The potential of sodium chloride as a stabilizing agent for highway construction has been investigated as mentioned in this paper, and the results of laboratory tests with mixtures of several soils and a gravel with a commercial montmorillonite clay stabilized with rock salt and brine are presented.
Abstract: The potential of sodium chloride as a stabilizing agent for highway construction has been investigated. Literature covering laboratory and field studies since the early 1900s is briefly reviewed. The results of laboratory tests with mixtures of several soils and a gravel with a commercial montmorillonite clay stabilized with rock salt and brine are presented. The laboratory study included the Atterberg limits test, compaction test, unconfined compression test, California bearing ratio test, indirect tensile strength test, and cyclic triaxial test. The cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to determine resilient modulus and permanent deformation under cyclic loading as well as Poisson's ratio. The beneficial effects of sodium chloride stabilization are discussed.**The following article published in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR): Soil Stabilization with Sodium Chloride, published in 1999 in TRR No. 1673 has been retracted due to unacknowledged overlap ...

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental program was designed to study the behavior of soil as the percent of additive agent changes and the results showed that the geotechnical properties have been improved when soil is treated by mixing lime and sodium silicate.
Abstract: Soil treatment is commonly resorted in order to improve the strength, stiffness properties of road foundations, and reduce the swelling potential of expansive soils. In Jordan, considerable amount of construction activity is carried out at relatively shallow depths where soil is likely to be unsaturated and subjected to low stresses level. Road damage is frequently observed when it is founded on weak sub-grade in Karak. Therefore, chemical stabilization of the base course, sub base course and sub-grade is essential. The soil will be treated by using sodium silicate and lime with different percentages. An experimental program was designed to study the behavior of soil as the percent of additive agent changes. The results showed that; the geotechnical properties have been improved when soil is treated by mixing lime and sodium silicate. The initial consumption of lime is of 4 and 2 % for sodium silicate. The reaction time is a significant parameter where strength improves as time increases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of polymer materials and their comparison have been investigated, considering the importance of oil and polymer materials in soil stabilization, and the importance and effectiveness of these new materials in poor soil stabilization.
Abstract: Due to the enormous growth of new chemicals, especially polymer materials in construction projects, and the importance and effectiveness of these new materials in poor soil stabilization, recently has closed chemistry and polymer sciences to civil science. The use of materials such as bitumen in stabilization of flowing and loose soil and using of polymer resins reflects the effect of these substances is very high on construction projects. Considering the importance of oil and polymer materials in soil stabilization, in this study performance of polymer materials and their comparison have been investigated. Oil materials such as bitumen can be used to stabilize the soil, and polymer resins such as polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, and also pointed polypropylene synthetic fiber can be considered as polymer materials. Bitumen foam is one of the fixative materials that obtain by adding water to hot bitumen, and is applicable to a wide range of stone materials. In addition to, polymer resins increase the burden go loose soils. Polymer fibers due to high durability and easy application and no problem at saturation conditions are highly regarded by civil engineers.
