Influence of Compactive Effort on Bagasse Ash with Cement Treated Lateritic Soil
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2007, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
The result of a laboratory study on the influence of British Standard Light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS) and British Standard Heavy (BSH) compactive effort on up to 8% bagasse ash content with up to 4% cement treated lateritic soil on compaction and shear strength characteristic of laterite. The result shows decreased in Maximum Dry Density with increased in bagasse ash content and in shear strength properties there was decreased in cohesion and an increased in angle internal friction. The decreased was greater with higher bagasse ash content. However, as compactive effort increased from BSL, WAS and BSH, the value of MDD increased and OMC decreased as a result of flocculation and agglomeration of clay particle occupying larger space with a corresponding drop in dry density and because of extra water required for the pozzalanic reaction of bagasse ash and hydration of cement respectively.
