Soil stabilization techniques

Soil stabilization is a process that improves the physical properties of soil to enhance its strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity. Common techniques include adding materials like lime, cement, or polymers to bind soil particles together, making the ground less prone to erosion and easier to work with. Mechanical methods involve compacting the soil to increase density. Additionally, chemical treatments can change the soil's composition, making it more stable. These techniques are essential in construction, road building, and agriculture to ensure a solid foundation and prevent issues like cracks or shifting in the soil.
