Soil stabilization
soil stabilization is one of the prime objectives of AggreBind soil stabilizer and is used to improve on-site materials to create a solid soil stabilizing and strong sub-base and base courses. In certain regions of the world, typically developing countries and now more frequently in developed countries, soil stabilizing with AggreBind is being used to construct the entire road.
In the past, soil stabilization was done by utilizing the binding properties of clay soils, cement-based products, and/or utilizing the rammed earth technique and lime. As technology evolved, there have now emerged new types of soil stabilizing techniques, AggreBind is one such product and is classified as green technology .
Some of the green technologies are: enzymes, surfactants, biopolymers, synthetic polymers, co-polymer based products, cross-linking styrene acrylic polymers, tree resins, ionic stabilizers, fiber reinforcement, calcium chloride, sodium chloride and more. Some of these new soil stabilizing techniques used in AggreBind create hydrophobic surfaces and mass that prevent prevents road failure from water penetration or heavy frosts by inhibiting the ingress of water into the treated layer.
However, recent technology has increased the number of traditional additives used for soil stabilizing purposes. Such non-traditional stabilizers include: Polymers Based Products (e.g. cross-linking water-based styrene acrylic polymers that significantly improves the load-bearing capacity and tensile strength of treated soils), Copolymer Based Products, fiber reinforcement, calcium chloride, and Sodium Chloride.
AggreBind Soil Stabilizing
Soil Stabilizing is a way of improving the weight bearing capabilities and performance of in-situ sub-soils, sands, and other waste materials.
The prime objective of soil stabilizing is to improve the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) of in-situ soils by 4 to 6 times.
The second soil stabilizing objective is to prevent the ingress of water into the treated layer, as water penetration and heavy frosts are the cause of many road failures.
