Abstract |
|
In the present study Black Cotton Soil was stabilized with a mixture of acids and alkalis. Industrial advances in agriculture, chemical industries have lead to release of variety of pollutants into the environment contaminating the soil. Soil is being contaminated by anthropogenic sources such as leakages from waste containment facilities, accidental spills, and industrial operations. The geotechnical properties of soil get altered when an acid and alkali compounds get mixed with soil. This paper reports the effect of sodium hydroxide, sodium Carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and hydro-chloric acid on the compaction characteristics of black cotton soil at various molarities. Atterberg’s limits, Compaction characteristics and unconfined compressive strength are altered due to acid and alkali contamination. |
