3. Soil stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_stabilization

   Soil stabilization is a general term for any physical, chemical, mechanical, biological, or combined method of changing a natural soil to meet an engineering purpose. [1] Improvements include increasing the weight-bearing capabilities, tensile strength, and overall performance of unstable subsoils , sands, and waste materials in order to ...

4. Polymer soil stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_soil_stabilization

   Synthetic polymers began replacing other chemical binders for soil stabilization in agriculture in the late 20th century. [1] Compared to traditional chemical binders, polymer soil additives can achieve the same amount of strengthening at much lower concentrations – for example, mixtures of 0.5-1% of various biopolymers have strength levels that match or exceed those of 10% cement mixtures ...

5. Soil aggregate stability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Aggregate_Stability

   Soil sieve nests with dry soil aggregates after removal from a laboratory drying oven. Soil aggregate stability is a measure of the ability of soil aggregates—soil particles that bind together—to resist breaking apart when exposed to external forces such as water erosion and wind erosion, shrinking and swelling processes, and tillage.

6. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

   Road salt contains chlorides that could migrate through the porous pavement into groundwater. Snow plow blades could catch block edges of concrete pavers or other block installations, damaging surfaces and creating potholes. Sand cannot be used for snow and ice control on porous surfaces because it will plug the pores and reduce permeability. [17]

7. Stabilization (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilization_(architecture)

   In civil engineering, stabilization is the retrofitting of platforms or foundations as constructed for the purpose of improving the bearing capacity and levelness of the supported building. Soil failure can occur on a slope, a slope failure or landslide , or in a flat area due to liquefaction of water-saturated sand and/or mud.

8. Road surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface

   Pavers (or paviours), generally in the form of pre-cast concrete blocks, are often used for aesthetic purposes, or sometimes at port facilities that see long-duration pavement loading. Pavers are rarely used in areas that see high-speed vehicle traffic.

9. AASHTO Soil Classification System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AASHTO_Soil_Classification...

   The AASHTO Soil Classification System was developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and is used as a guide for the classification of soils and soil-aggregate mixtures for highway construction purposes.
