Abstract

Soil is a peculiar material. Some waste material such as fly ash, wood ash, rice husk ash, pond ash may use to make the soil to be stable. Ash from biomass fuel contains a significant amount of CaO. Therefore, the substitution of burnt lime as a binder for silt and clay soil stabilization by wood ash and fly ash seem to be reasonable way of utilization. Addition of such material will increase the physical as well as chemical properties of the soil. Properties to be increased are CBR value, shear strength, liquid limit, compressive strength and bearing capacity. Plasticity was reduced 32% and CBR and strength increased 25 to 50% and 45 to 65% the result of investigation shall provide the basic successful implementation of wood ash and fly ash as a binder for clay soil stabilization in practice.
