Stabilisation of Highly Swelling Soil Using Non Conventional Stabilising Agents

Abstract

Soil adjustment goes for expanding or keeping up the security of soil mass and substance modification of soils to upgrade their Engineering Properties of either subsoil layers before laying any structure on it.

Framework and industrialization fills in as a spine for a nation's economy. However because of fast industrialization there exist an issue as waste amassing and consequent issues because of their transfer and impacts of waste.

This paper describes the study carried out with an aim to enhance the bearing capacity of clayey soils on mixing it with steel slag, lime, asbestos and sodium silicate in varied proportions. In this study various geotechnical properties such as liquid limits, plastic limits, Unconfined compressive strength, direct shear and CBR for soaked and unsoaked soil is computed. This type of stabilization is more suitable for construction of road project with clay soil where sand replacement is not sufficient and it mixed as a mass mix in the road side itself and strengthening the soil at higher rate.
