Mudis a mixture ofwaterand any combination ofsoil,silt, andclay, and usually forms after rainfall or near water sources. Ancient mud deposits harden overgeologicaltime to form sedimentary rock such asshaleormudstone(generally called lutites). When geological deposits of mud are formed inestuariesthe resultant layers are termedbay muds.1. Soil stabilizationis a way of improving the weight bearing capabilities and performance of in-situ sub-soils, sands, and other waste materials in order to strengthen road surfaces. The prime objective ofsoil stabilizationis to improve the California Bearing Ratio of in-situsoilsby 4 to 6 times.
