Effect of sodium compounds additives on the strength of cement-stabilized soils
Chemical stabilisation using cement is a common method of improving the weak properties of soft soils.This study presents the results of experimental tests on the effects of three sodium additive solutions, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl),on the strength of clayey (CS) and non-plastic/low plasticity pro
