Advanced tools and techniques to add value to soil stabilization practice

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the advanced tools and techniques used for adding value to the soil stabilization practice. The tools presented involve advanced laboratory tests and modeling using codes and soft computing to evaluate the mechanical behavior of stabilized soils with cement, ranging from short-term to long-term behavior. More precisely, these tools are able to: 1. Predict the mechanical behavior of the stabilized soils over time from data obtained in the early ages saving time in laboratory tests; 2. Predict the mechanical behavior of the stabilized soils over time based on basic parameters of soil type and binder using historical accurate data, avoiding mechanical laboratory tests. 3. Incorporate the serviceability limit state concept in a novel proposal to estimate the design modulus in function of the uniaxial compressive strength and the strain level, making more economic and sustainable geotechnical solutions.
