  Improvement of Properties of Expansive Soil using Terrazyme

  By I. Srinivasa Reddy

  Abstract: Enzymatic emulsions contain enzymes that react with soil molecules to form a cementing bond that stabilizes the soil structure and reduces the soil’s affinity for water. When the bio-enzymes like Terrazyme, are mixed with soil they alter its engineering properties. When added to a soil, the enzymes increases the wetting and bonding capacity of the soil particles and improves the chemical bonding between soil particles and creating a more permanent …

  Evaluating Rutting Susceptibility of Bituminous Mixes using Indigenously Developed IIT KGP Rut Tester

  By I. Srinivasa Reddy

  Abstract: Rutting is the major mode of distress affecting the service life and performance of bituminous pavements. Rutting occurs due to excessive stresses on subgrade, inadequate strength of bituminous mix, inadequate thickness of pavement layers or poor construction methods. Among these causes, quality of bituminous mix is one of the main factors that contribute towards rutting failure. The link between laboratory testing and potential field performance of bituminous mixes is very …
