Soil Stabilization

Catalog description

Soil Stabilization: This course covers theoretical concepts and practical design procedures for stabilization of granular soils. The topics include general overview of ground improvement techniques including mechanical compaction, geosynthetics, fibers, and calcium-based stabilizers such as cement, lime, fly ash, and CCBs to improve the strength properties of foundations and mitigate moisture susceptibility of construction platforms. This course also provides available procedures for the mixture design of asphalt emulsions, and foamed asphalt in civil engineering practice.
