... for increasing stiffness and reducing compressibility. Concurrently, chemical stabilisation utilises binders such as lime, cement and fly ash to modify the soil fabric, effectively reducing plasticity and limiting swelling. Complementing these approaches, reinforcement and replacement systems introduce stiffer...
