MgO for Sulfate Soil Stabilization: A Sustainable Solution for Expansive Soils

This article discusses the use of Light-Burned Magnesium Oxide (MgO) as an innovative and sustainable alternative for stabilizing sulfate-rich expansive soils. Traditional calcium-based stabilizers often cause detrimental ettringite formation, leading to structural damage. MgO offers a promising solution by suppressing swelling and enhancing soil properties, addressing a critical challenge in construction.
