A Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Flash
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
Soil stabilization is one of most important for the construction which is widely used in connection with pavements and structures because it improves the engineering properties of soil. Utilization of industrial waste materials in the improvement of soils is a cost efficient and environmental friendly method. Stabilization of the expansive soil is studied by using flyash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace. In the present investigation is to evaluate the compaction, CBR and unconfined compressive strength of stabilized black cotton soil using flyash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace with different percentages. The geotechnical properties like compaction parameters has increased enabling increase California Bearing Ratio in both soaked and unsoaked conditions which indicates that improved in strength. From these results, it was found that optimum GGBS is 5 % and 5% flyash gives the maximum increment in the CBR and UCS values compared with all the other combinations.
