Abstract

This study deals with stabilization findings of granular soil selected from three different locations in Nizwa area. Compaction characteristics and compressive strength of stabilized soil were determined using 1, 3, 5, and7% as cement content. Two curing periods of 3 and 7 days were subjected to stabilized specimens. A remarkable improvement of compressive strength and maximum dry density are determined. This improvement showed more effects with increasing cement content and curing time. The strength, dry density and optimum moisture content of stabilized soils found to be higher for more stabilizer content. The stabilized granular soil in Nizwa area provides a ready to use pavement and airport courses with a potentialof improvement of soil characteristics used for design.
