Abstract :
This research is to determine the geotechnical properties of laterite soil which are modified with liquid soil stabilizers namely Canlite (SS299). The soft soil samples which are from hilly area at Faculty of Electrical and Electronic, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai was used in this research. Physical properties tests that were conducted are Atterberg Limit test, Standard Proctor Compaction test (SPC) while mechanical properties test are Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test. All these tests were conducted in accordance to BS1377:1990. The results showed that SS299 soil stabilizer is able to improve the geotechnical properties of the laterite soil. The unconfined compression strength increased with the curing period, the variation mainly occurring in the first 28 days. Canlite soil stabilizer was therefore finding as an effective stabilizer for lateritic soil.
