• Mechanical stabilization: This involves physically altering the soil to improve its strength and stability. This can be done by compaction, mixing, or adding aggregate.
• Chemical stabilization: This involves adding chemicals to the soil to improve its strength and stability. This can be done by adding cement, lime, or other chemicals.
• Biological stabilization: This involves adding microorganisms to the soil to improve its strength and stability. This can be done by adding bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms.

Benefits of Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization can provide a number of benefits, including:

• Increased strength and stability
• Reduced erosion
• Improved drainage
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Increased lifespan of infrastructure projects

Applications of Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Road construction
• Airport construction
• Railway construction
