Abstract

Cement is an effective agent in stabilizing the fine grained Niger delta soils to provide base course material for roads. The amount of cement required to stabilize the clays/silty clays and the uniformly graded medium to fine sand can be reduced by as much as 50 0f the two soil types are mixed in equal proportions (1:1 ratio) before cement stabilization.
