Abstract |
|
The project deals with the stabilization of soils using fly ash and lime. Stabilization means improving the engineering properties of a soil by admixtures. On specific engineering projects, soil additives may help to enhance sub grade or sub base properties. An experimental programme was undertaken to examine the effects of fly ash and lime on the compaction and strength performance of expansive soil. The soil samples are prepared with different proportions of fly ash (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) and lime (4%, 6%, and 8%). A series of tests are conducted including Index properties, Standard Proctor test, and Direct Shear test. The probable variation in the strength of soil are observed and recorded. |
