 | This report is written in response to a request from the Air Force Research Laboratory concerning research on rapid stabilization/polymerization of wet clay soils. The purpose of this report is to document the findings of a literature review (Phase I) carried out by the team assembled at Virginia Tech. The literature review covers approximately 200 papers, most of which deal with clay stabilization. This report contains the findings of this ... |

| Since World War II, the military has sought methods for rapid stabilization of weak soils for support of its missions worldwide. Over the past 60 years, cement and lime have been the most effective stabilizers for road and airfield applications, although many nontraditional stabilizers also have been developed and used. The most effective stabilizer to increase the strength of two soft clay soils within 72 h for contingency airfields to ... |

| Since World War II, the military has sought methods for rapid stabilization of weak soils for support of its missions worldwide. Over the past 60 years, cement and lime have been the most effective stabilizers for road and airfield applications, although recent developments show promise from nontraditional stabilizers, such as reinforcing fibers. The benefits derived from fibers may depend on whether they are used alone or in combination with chemical ... |

| Since World War II, the military has sought methods for rapid stabilization of weak soils for support of its missions worldwide. Over the past 60 years, cement and lime have consistently been found to be among the most effective stabilizers for road and airfield applications, although recent developments show promise using nontraditional stabilizers. The purpose of this research is to determine the most effective stabilizers and dosage rates of stabilizers ... |
