ABSTRACT:
This paper described the review on the research of Probase as soil stabilizer. It also shows the applicable theory with the related research regarding the connection between Probase and stability of soil. This research is
based on the experimental work on the use of Probase powder soil stabilizer and liquid soil stabilizer for road
building using soil from Ladang Kelapa Sawit Bukit Pasir Salak,Johor Bharu. The suitability of stabilized soils
using Probase-soil stabilizers for road building will be determined. It is expected that Probase soil stabilizers
will be able to stabilize the soft soils for road building besides reducing construction and maintenance costs, also ensure that the roads remain passable in rainy season and dust-free in dry season. As a conclusion, Probase
stabilizer is one of the best solution to stabilize soft soil at rural areas.

CASE OF STUDY:

AIM AND OBJECTIVES:

As road drive a path of development, the establishment of Research and Development (R&D) in
organization has encourage diversity in idea triggered regarding to road development. Therefore
one of the most popular ideology come out is
chemical stabilization of natural soil principle.
Today this parameter still on research regarding
too long term effect related to environmental
and cost maintenance issues.

METHOD:
Site preparation
Sealing

Maintenance

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of Probase Soil Stabilizer for road building from geotechnical purposes:
A) To determine the suitability of stabilized soils using Probase-soil stabilizers for road building
B) To determine whether Probase able to stabilize the road
building by reducing construction and maintenance
costs.

COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCES BETWEEN PROBASE

ROAD AND CONVENTIONAL ROAD:

Better living environment

Accessibility guaranty

Improve living standard (dusty road may cause health problem)

Time saving

Safety

ADVANTAGES OF USING PROBASE:

Maintaining the strength

Erosion free, dust free

Environmental friendly

Lessen water penetration into soil

CONCLUSION:
Probase have change the accessibility and performance of unpaved road condition by improving the drainage system and road surface waterproof layer.
