Abstract

In the present civil engineering world sometimes the foundation soil is not suitable for construction purpose. This creates lots of problem to civil engineer during the execution. To make the problematic soil suitable for engineering projects is known as ground improvement. So for the purpose of ground improvement we use numerous types of admixtures like cement, lime, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, fly ash etc. This paper reviews on the influence of blast furnace slag when used alone or with some other admixtures on various properties of clayey soil. From the experimental results it has been found that by using blast furnace slag with admixtures like lime increases the value of U.C.S and C.B.R. and the variation is also found in the compaction characteristics of soil.
