In the past, soil stabilization was done by utilizing the binding properties of cement based products and lime in clay soils. BBM® is a new technology product classified as green technology.
BBM® Application
There are basically two methods. After the soil content and moisture analysis, the amount of cement and BBM® and the application method are determined by considering the purpose of use of the road and the data obtained.
​
Spraying Method; Diluted BBM® is sprayed onto the surface after the cement mixed soil is leveled. Then the soil is compacted.
​
Mechanical Method; Cement and diluted BBM® are mixed into the soil by reclaiming machines or mechanical mixers to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then the soil is laid, leveled and compacted.
​
The amount of cohesive fines (silt and clay) in the soil is the main factor in the selection of the method. BBM® can be applied to most soil types.
​
Cement is added at the rate of 2%-5% of the soil weight to be processed, and BBM® is added at the rate of 2%-4% of the optimum water content.
