19. Cement Stabilization

Cement stabilization techniques for soil treatment involve performing tests to determine the appropriate cement content based on soil properties. The methodology emphasizes quality control through mechanical and physical property tests, with specific recommendations for cement percentages and testing methods to ensure adequate stabilization. Thermal stabilization methods are also mentioned but are currently under revision.
