Soils are often stabilized using Portland cement due to the benefits it offers in enhancing the stability of subgrades. Portland cement, when mixed with soil, forms a cementitious matrix that binds soil particles together, resulting in increased strength and durability. This stabilization method is highly advantageous compared to other techniques used for improving subgrade stability.
Portland cement stabilization provides significant strength gains, making it an ideal choice for stabilizing weak or problematic soils. It enhances load-bearing capacity, reduces soil settlement, and prevents excessive deformation under heavy loads. The cement stabilization process is relatively quick and cost-effective, offering time and financial savings in construction projects.
Moreover, stabilized soils exhibit improved resistance to water penetration and erosion, ensuring long-term stability and minimizing maintenance requirements. The versatility of Portland cement stabilization makes it suitable for a wide range of soil types and construction applications, including roadways, foundations, and embankments.
