    A Study on Soil Stabilization using Cement and Plastic Fibres

    By K. Ramya, D. S.V. Prasad, G.V.R. Prasada Raju

    Abstract: Soils pose problems to civil engineers in general and to geotechnical engineers in particular. They cause damage to structure founded in them because of their potential to react to changes in moisture regime. Soil stabilization is the process of altering some soil properties by different methods, mechanical or chemical in order to produce an improvement soil material which has all the desired engineering properties. In the present work, an attempt …

    A Study on Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil Using Fly Ash and Plastic Fibres

    By Ch. Ganeswari, Jyothiraju Kalahasty, D. S.V. Prasad, G.V.R. Prasada Raju

    Abstract: AbstractSoil stabilization is most important for the construction which is widely used in connection with road pavement and foundation construction because it improves the engineering properties of soil such as strength. Utilization of industrial waste materials in the improvement of soils is a cost efficient and environment friendly method. Stabilization of the expansive soil is studied by using fly ash and plastic fibres. The present investigation is to evaluate the …

    A Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Sodium Silicate

    By Ch. Nagu Nagu, D. S.V. Prasad, G.V.R. Prasada Raju

    Abstract: Utilization of industrial waste materials in the improvement of soils is a cost efficient and environmental friendly method. Stabilization of the expansive soil is studied by using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and sodium silicate. This paper includes the evaluation of soil properties like compaction, unconfined compressive strength test and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. Detailed experimental study has been undertaken to investigate the characteristics and behavior of expansive …

    Strength Behavior of Expansive Soil Treated with Lime

    By D. S.V. Prasad

    Abstract: AbstractThe main objective of the soil stabilization is to increase the bearing capacity of the soil. Unstable soils can create significant problems for pavements or structures. Therefore soil stabilization techniques are necessary to ensure the good stability of soil so that it can successfully sustain the load of the superstructures, especially in case of soil which are highly active; also, it saves a lot of time and millions of money …
