Mud flood as a suitable material for subgrade layer of low traffic volume
This paper describes a research carried out to identify the basic properties of mud flood soil and the efficiency of SH-85 stabilizer to improve the unconfined compressive strength of the soil. Based on the soil classification test conducted, mud flood soil can be classified as a fine grained soil a...
