Abstract: Foamed bitumen is a new material used for soil stabilisation. Its suitability was assessed by conducting laboratory tests for uniform-grained soil. The contents of foamed bitumen were 3.0% and 3.5%, while the contents of portland cement added to increase the grain quantity were 2.0%, 2.5% and 3.0% respectivel y. The test results show that soil stabilised with foamed bitumen meets the same criteria as those established for soil stabilised with 6.0% cement and for soil stabilised with recycled base material obtained by applying the foamed bitumen and the M-C-E technology. It is reported that by applying foamed bitumen it is possible to produce a semi-rigid laver of stabilised soil.
