Comparison between canlite stabilized laterite and probase stabilized laterite

In the previous studies, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of Laterite soil was improved significantly by adding polymer soil stabilizers like Canlite and Probase. Although this is the important finding of the research, there is still no comparison study done between the two polymer soil sta...
