Bitumen stabilization
asphalt-stabilized soils are used for base and subbase
construction
sand-bitumen, which produces strength in cohesionless soils, such

Slow-curing liquid asphalts SC-250 and SC-800.
Medium-setting and slow-setting asphalt emulsions MS-2, CMS-2, SS-1,
and CSS-1.

Bitumen Emulsion
What is emulsion?
low viscosity
good penetration and spreading capacity
anionic or cationic
rapid setting (RS), medium setting (MS), and slow setting
(SS)
Environmental parameters over cut back
Admixture Design

Methods of mixing
In situ
Comparatively economical than off situ
Off situ
Additional Transport cost
Proper mixing
Uniform coating
