An Evaluation of The Influence of Corn Cob Ash (CCA) on The Strength Parameters of Bentonite Clay
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
It is of major reflection to with clear geotechnical investigation results. There are many methods for improvement of soil which include a variety of procedures like excavation and refilling of grouting, nailing etc. These procedures are valuable within their limits but require a certain amount of mechanical and chemical work to be used which in terms harms the environment or is not usable for a variety of soils. If the soil on which structure is going to be constructed is not having considerable bearing capacity, soil stabilization techniques are to be applied. So, we must look towards the techniques which are environment friendly to progress forward in the field and have a wide range of application. Among them one is our topic “An evaluation of the influence of CCA on the strength parameters of Bentonite Clay”. We will use CCA as improvement method on Bentonite Clay which as problem of water absorption and swelling. CCA will be mixed with Bentonite Clay at varying percentages of 0.5%, 1% and 2% of the dry weight of the soil. Soil-CCA composite samples now will be subjected to Modified Proctor Compaction tests and CBR (Soaked and Un-Soaked). From the results we came to know that as we add CCA in bentonite its strength becomes better.
