Effects Of Stabilization On The Performance Of Deltaic Lateritic Soils As A Road Pavement Material

Abstract Deltaic lateritic soils of the Niger delta region of Nigeria differ markedly fiom the other lateritic soils because of some mode of formation related peculiarities. As the most widely used soil materials for road earthworks in the entire region, their continual exploitation based on properties of the more matured and widely studied lateritic soils of the hinterland has met with mixed degrees of failure and success. In this study, samples of this soil material fiom different locations were stabilised mechanically with or without sand addition and chemically with controlled proportions …
