The Geotechnical Properties of Jamshoro Soil (Shale) With Cement
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
The geology of Jamshoro soil is nearly consist of multilayers in alternative form. The alternative layer of Jamshoro soil occur in the form of lime stone and shale or vice versa. The basic aim of this research is to improve the geotechnical properties of Jamshoro soil (shale) by using the cement as the stabilized material. This paper reports the effect of cement on the geotechnical characteristic of the cohesive soil and swelling potential of the Jamshoro soil. The soil sample used for testing purpose are thoroughly mixed to obtain the homogeneity. After that thoroughly mixed was dried in the oven. Oven dried sample was mixed with cement at different proportion that was 5% ,10%, 15% and 20% by the soil weight. Water content used in the mixture to form the specimens at optimum moisture contents of the soil. The compacted this prepared soil specimen was done by followed the procedure of standard proctor test. Compacted specimens were cured for the period of 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. After the completion of curing duration of specimen direct shear test was done. On the base of experimental result, it was concluded that the cement showed an appreciable improvement of the cohesion with the curing period.
