Thawing soils can severely restrict vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces. However, a variety of materials and construction techniques can be used to stabilize thawing soils to reduce immobilization problems. The U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) and the Wisconsin National Guard evaluated several stabilization techniques in a field demonstration project during spring thaw at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, in 1995. Additional tests on chemical stabilizing techniques were conducted at CRREL in Hanover, New Hampshire. The results of these test programs were expressed as a decision matrix for stabilizing thawing ground, which was used during the deployment of U.S. troops in Bosnia during January and February of 1996. This paper is an overview of the stabilization work conducted by CRREL and its application. Although the experiments were performed with military vehicles in mind, the techniques are suitable for many civilian applications such as forestry, construction, mining, and oil exploration.
