Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to explore the utility of polyacrylamide (PAM) in geotechnical applications and to assess the impact of polyacrylamide on soil. Polymer which is employed for soil stabilization should be of low-cost and readily accessible. In soil stabilization, the poor quality of soil is converted into an important engineering material. The soil stabilization improves the strength of the soil, also increases its bearing capacity. The CBR test was conducted on two sample i.e. on untreated sample and PAM mixed soil sample. The outcome achieved are matched between two samples and the impact of polyacrylamide on soil index properties and desirability in construction of flexible pavement.
