Abstract

In the last period, a lot of new concept soil stabilizers appeared on the market, acting differently in the stabilization process due to their bonding and catalytic properties. In comparison with traditional stabilizing agents, enzymatic emulsions present the advantage of an easier transportation due to their reduced volumetric masses. Also, by comparison with traditional stabilizers, the applied technology in earth layers stabilization may differ. In this context, in the present paper are presented the key steps in stabilization applied technology using Alphasoil®06 enzymatic emulsion.
