This report surveys the available information on mixtures of soil and cement. Included are data on (1) properties of cement-treated soil, (2) factors influencing properties of cement-treated soil, (3) uses of cement-treated soil and bituminous surfacing requirements, (4) preliminary surveying, sampling, testing and mix design for cement- treated soil construction, (5) structural design of soil- cement bases, (6) cement-treated soil construction, (7) engineering control of construction, and (8) field performance of soil-cement base courses.

For many years, various forms of lime, including products with varying degrees of purity, have been utilized successfully as soil stablizing agents. The state of the art in lime treatment based on a comprehensive analysis of current practice and technical literature is presented in this report. References are included for more information.

Soil stabilization is the process whereby soils and related materials are made stronger and more durable by mixing with a stabilizing agent. These techniques are used for road construction in most parts of the world, although the circumstances and reasons for resorting to stabilization vary considerably.

Nonconventional and Vernacular Construction Materials: Characterisation, Properties and Applications, Second Edition covers the topic by taking into account sustainability, the conservation movement, and current interests in cultural identity and its preservation. This updated edition presents case studies, information on relevant codes and regulations, and how they apply (or do not apply) to nocmats. Leading international experts contribute chapters on current applications and the engineering of these construction materials. Sections review vernacular construction, provide future directions for nonconventional and vernacular materials research, focus on natural fibers, and cover the use of industrial byproducts and natural ashes in cement mortar and concrete. - Takes a scientifically rigorous approach to vernacular and non-conventional building materials and their applications - Includes a series of case studies and new material on codes and regulations, thus providing an invaluable compendium of practical knowhow - Presents the wider context of materials science and its applications in the sustainability agenda
