Abstract
The world is losing its inhabitability
because new technologies bring impurities and
climate, soil and the weather is changing day by
day. National and international organizations are
founded in order to prevent the destruction of the
environment. The expansive nature of soils
containing high amounts of clay minerals can be
altered through chemical stabilization, resulting in
a material suitable for construction purposes.
During past decade, depending on the nature and
function of soil, many different chemical products
have been proposed to stabilize the soil.
Temperature as a soil-forming factor has long been
neglected, but today its importance in the general
scheme of soil genesis can no longer be denied.
Soil scientists do not agree among themselves as
to the exact place of organisms in the scheme of
soil-forming factors. Mineralogical and
geotechnical analysis revealed that the soil of
Central Anatolia is mainly composed of kaolinite
and mixture of smectite and illite. The qualitative
determination of the mineral composition in major
elements of the raw soils was performed by FTIR,
XRD and SEM. Despite having shown very good
results at plot level, their widespread adoption
remains a challenge for Central Anatolia
