• Abstract:
  The soils which serve as foundations for construction projects may be roughly classified as ; inorganic or organic. Inorganic soils vary in firmness and suitability for construction. Soft ; or loose inorganic soils may be stabilized using cement or similar binders. This method, ; called soil mixing, yields effective and predictable results, allowing the Federal Highway ; Administration (FHWA) to publish a comprehensive design manual for soil mixing in inorganic ; soils. However, organic soils, often highly ; compressible and often found with high ; water tables, have not been addressed to ; the same extent.
