Innovative Techniques for Soil Stabilization in Civil Engineering

Abstract

Soil stabilization is a critical aspect of civil engineering that aims to enhance the mechanical properties and stability of soil, thus enabling it to support the construction of various infrastructure projects. Over the years, researchers and engineers have continually sought innovative techniques to improve soil stabilization methods, leading to the development of several effective and sustainable solutions. This abstract provides an overview of some of the innovative techniques for soil stabilization in civil engineering, highlighting their principles, advantages, and potential applications.One innovative technique gaining attention in soil stabilization is the use of geosynthetics. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials specifically designed for geotechnical applications. They include geotextiles, geogrids, geocells, and geomembranes. Geosynthetics offer various benefits, such as reinforcing the soil, reducing soil erosion, improving drainage, and increasing the bearing capacity of weak soils. They can be used in different configurations based on project requirements, making them versatile and adaptable to a wide range of soil stabilization applications.
