Evaluation of agricultural waste material as soil stabilizing agent for soft soil / Muhammad Sofian Abdullah... [et al.].
The utilization of agricultural waste (agrowaste) material as stabilize agent in lime stabilization provides a satisfactory solution to some of the environmental concerns and problems associated with the agricultural waste management.
