At present,a large amount of saline soil located in the coastal and inland regions has produced many foundation engineering diseases,which is a problem needed to be solved in the engineering circles.Stabilization treatment is a most effective solution to this problem.According to a large amount of literatures,the stabilization characteristics and mechanism of the stabilizers,including inorganic stabilizer,new-type inorganic stabilizer,organic-polymer-component contained stabilizer,are described systematically,and the status quo of the research on these stabilizer is assessed.
