Laterite soil is commonly used as a fill or pavement material. However, it tends to lose its natural bonding and experiences large deformation when subjected to cyclic rainy (wet) and hot (dry) seasons. This leads to cracking and deflection of road pavement. It has long been known that lime stabilis...
