A. Full details of soil suitability testing are available in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges Volume 4, HA 74/00. It is important that specific testing for sulfate and sulfide is undertaken, for more information refer to Britpave publication BP/16 – Stabilisation of Sulfate Bearing Soils (available to download from the Library page of this website).
