Soil-cement is a widely used construction material in Bangladesh, particularly for road construction, low-cost pavements, and temporary flood protection embankments. It is a mixture of soil, cement, and water, compacted to form a durable, stable base material. Given Bangladesh’s vast network of rural roads and flood-prone areas, soil-cement provides a cost-effective solution for improving soil strength and reducing erosion. The use of soil-cement is especially common in regions with locally available soil, offering a practical alternative to more expensive traditional paving materials.
