Abstract |
|
An experiment is conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of clayey soil blending with different percentage of Burnt Brick Dust of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight where the Burnt Brick Dust is used to stabilize the clayey soil. After achieving the optimum percentage of Burnt Brick Dust the sample mix is further mixed with 8% by weight with Scrap Tyre Rubber of length 25 mm and width 10mm and then the tests are performed. Tests conducted on clayey soil mixed with Burnt Brick Dust and Scrap Tyre Rubber are Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, Free Swell Index, Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density and California Bearing Ratio. A comparison between clayey soil, clayey soil mixed with Burnt Brick Dust and clayey soil mixed with Burnt Brick Dust and Scrap Tyre Rubber is performed. It is found that the properties of clayey soil are improved drastically. |
