Optimization of Ionic Soil Stabilizer Dilution and Understanding the Mechanism in Red Clay Treatment by Xuesong Lu, Jin Luo, Meinan Wan

“…The results show that the ISS-Water mixture of 1 : 200 was the most effective ratio to reduce the plasticity index. The measurements indicate the thickness of the pair-electricity layer of adjacent clay layers and the repulsion force among soil particles is reduced, which in turn enhances the attraction force of the clay layers. …”
