Abstract |
|
Soil stabilization is a technique of improving the properties of soil such as bearing capacity, shear strength etc. This can be done by using several methods. The usage of admixtures is such a technique. Foundry sand waste is an industrial waste which we can add to improve the properties of soil. It will also solve the problem of disposal of waste foundry sand. The effect of Foundry sand on the geotechnical characteristics were investigated by conducting various tests as per Indian Standard specifications. This paper focuses on the beneficial use of Waste Foundry Sand on the geo technical characteristics of soil and its applications as a soil stabilizer. |
