Sustainable Soil Stabilisation
Soil stabilisation is crucial to tackle the problem of soil disasters which may occur as a natural calamity or man-induced calamity. Many people are displaced from their homes and some even lose their life in such disasters. There are 3 main types of soil stabilisation including physical stabilisation, that is physically altering the site geology, such
