“…Therefore, the new soil stabilizer, viable and sustainable alternative is always in search of civil engineering industries to replace cement. Nowadays, geopolymerization technology has attracted more and more attention as a solution of utilizing solid waste and by-products, which provides a mature and cost-effective solution to many problems where hazardous residue has to be treated and stored under critical environmental conditions [7]. Geopolymerization is a reaction that chemically integrates mineral involving silica-aluminates sources.…”

This paper studies the effectiveness of soil stabilizer on the problematic soil or soft soil. It is subjected to instability and massive primary and long term consolidation settlements when subjected to even moderate load increases. The purpose of this study is to review the techniques and materials that have been used in the soil stabilization by previous researchers. The performance of the soil stabilizer for stabilization by means of strength has been highlighted in this study. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test was carried out on stabilized soil samples and the results that obtained were discussed. The use of these techniques and materials may provide an inexpensive and advantageous construction process. As a conclusion, the strength of soil can be increased by using these materials and techniques in soil stabilization. This paper gives a comprehensive report on stabilization techniques and materials that have been used for soft soil and also discuss the potential of geopolymerization technology to be one of the new soil stabilization techniques.
