Abstract
This work was aimed primarily at stabilising A-7 l a t e r i t e using
bituminous emulsion (MS?) as the main stabilizer Also, MC1 and
cement stabilizers were as well used for comparative purposes.
The prooperties of the stabilized s o i l s were determined by means of
compaction, CBR, unconfined c o m p r e s s i o n and water absorption tests©
From the analysis of the results, only cement was able
to stabilize the soil to meet the specifications for base course.
It is conclusive that 3 to % of mulsion (MS2) and MCI ara
economically suitable for the stabilization of the oil to achieve
the specifications for sub-base materials only while a maximum
cement content of 3% is desirable for base course
