Nowadays, companies use cross-linking styrene acrylic polymer materials replacing soil cement ( with its low tensile strength ), asphalt, tree resin, ionic stabilizers.

Soil cement is frequently used as a construction material for pipe bedding, slope protection, and road construction as a subbase layer reinforcing and protecting the subgrade.
13.
To make soil cement, fill the hole with soil, stir in cement ( 10 to 15 percent by volume of the soil ), add water, and tamp.
14.
It's called soil cement, and the amount of Portland cement you mix with the earth depends on the thickness of the pavement and the type of soil.
15.
In comparison with granular bases, soil cement bases can be thinner for the same road load, owing to their slab-like behavior that distributes load over broader areas.
16.
And, presto, here it is : It's called soil cement, and it's made by mixing soil with Portland cement, tamping it well, and sprinkling with enough water to harden it.
17.
A final idea is to fill the holes with soil cement, a mixture of Portland cement and soil that hardens up nearly as hard as concrete, and as hard as hardpan.
18.
Originally, soil stabilization was done by utilizing the binding properties of clay soils, cement-based products such as soil cement, and / or utilizing the " rammed earth " technique ( soil compaction ) and lime.
19.
An old service road used by hikers and bikers, ugly and out of character with the surroundings, is being removed and replaced with a trail made of soil cement, similar to the Bear Valley Trail at Point Reyes.
20.
They are rated by strength, from the weakest CBM 1 ( also formerly known as soil cement ) through CBM 2 to CBM 3, 4, and 5, which are more similar to concrete and are called " lean mix ".
