Through the soil stabilization we follow improvement of the physical
properties of the soil by adding chemical binding materials. This paper deals
with the treatment of soil samples collected from four locations in the south of
Syria, that would b
e used in irrigation canals basement . The binding
material used for the soil treatment is quicklime (CaO). After different
treatments the soil samples have a different behaviour after addition of Lime in
the same percent which reflects their ability to be stabilized.
