What You Need To Know About Chemical Soil Stabilization Methods?

7/30/2020

 
​Soil stabilization is a treatment method used to strengthen the properties of soil by combining and mixing materials. Two ways to stabilize soil are through chemical soil stabilization methods or mechanical soil stabilization methods. 
2 Types of Soil Stabilization Processes
Soil stabilization helps make soil stronger by binding soil particles. While there are numerous types of soil stabilization, most methods fall into two categories: mechanical soil stabilization and chemical soil stabilization. Mechanical soil stabilization improves the properties of soil by changing the size of the soil particles. Chemical soil stabilization methods consist of adding chemicals to the soil to change the soil structure.

What Are the Problems With Unstabilized soil?
In between unstabilized soil particles are air pockets. These air pockets allow water to pass through and cause the soil to be weak. Construction projects on unstabilized soil are more likely to sink or be washed away due to these weaknesses.

How Do Chemical Soil Stabilization Methods Help?
Chemical soil stabilization methods involve various chemical compounds that react with the soil and change its overall structure. During chemical soil stabilization, chemicals are introduced into the soil to seal the space between soil particles so that water cannot penetrate. This method increases the strength of the soil and its ability to bear weight.

What Chemicals Are Used To Stabilize Soil?
There are a number of chemical compounds that can be added to the soil to increase stability. The most common chemicals used for soil stabilization include: 
  • Sodium chloride
  • Calcium chloride
  • Sodium silicate

How Do You Choose Which Chemical to Use?
The chemicals are chosen based on the construction type, the subgrades of the soil, the drainage, and the construction method. Each of these chemical compounds helps individual soil particles stick together to reduce water retention in the soil. 

Conclusion
Chemical soil stabilization methods involve different chemicals. If you are looking for a soil stabilizing partner, contact Environmental Products and Applications, Inc.
