This document discusses soil cement, which is a compacted mixture of soil/aggregate, Portland cement, and water. It is used as a low-cost pavement base material. The document outlines the raw materials, types, applications, performance advantages and disadvantages of soil cement. Some key points are that soil cement can strengthen failing granular base pavements in an efficient and economical way, and that it distributes loads well and resists damage from weather due to its rigid characteristics. However, it requires proper moisture levels and can crack over time.
