Geotechnical Properties of Soil Stabilized with Urea-Formaldehyde Polymer
The polymers are non-toxic and inexpensive soil stabilizers which are being used for improving the soil characteristics. Addition of polymer to soil improves bonding between adjacent soils particles which results in flocculation and stabilization of soil. To study the effect of urea-formaldehyde resin on index properties and density of soil, urea-formaldehyde resin was mixed with soil samples in various proportions, cured, and its index properties were determined. Mixing of urea-formaldehyde resin with soil improves the index properties of the soil. When urea-formaldehyde resin was mixed with soil, the soil changed from non-plastic to plastic and the Atterberg limits of the soil got decreased on increasing concentration of urea-formaldehyde resins in the soil. The grain size analysis showed that proportion of large particles got increased when urea-formaldehyde resin was mixed with the soil. Addition of lime in polymer-mixed soil did not improve compaction characteristics which imply that it is not always having beneficial effect on index properties of soil to mix combination of polymer and lime in soil.
