Abstract: Enzymes for soil stabilization have been used for stabilizing the foundation soil, waste treatment, dam stabilization, embankment, and road building since the 80s in the twentieth century. Enzymes for soil stabilization in China were firstly used for road construction in 1995. Some experiences were obtained, but there were some problems with the works too. The present advancements on the study and application of enzymes for soil stabilization in China are introduced in this paper. The environmental protection value, economic efficiency, and the problems are analyzed in the application and development of enzymes for soil stabilization. It is cited that enzyme as a soil stabilizer have been used to improve the strength of compressed soil, by the test for comparing strengths of soil stabilized by conventional stabilizers (anhydrate lime, Portland cement), Perma-Zyme 11X. The implications for future investigations are given
