INVESTIGATING THE GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF A LATERITIC SOIL AS A SUB-GRADE MATERIAL FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION –USING COCONUT HUSK ASHBy Etornam Bani Fiadonu, Richard Mensah
Abstract: Waste management world-wide plays a major role in socio-economic development over the years. The increase in population over the years has contributed to the rate at which wastes are generated. One major waste generated in Ghana is coconut shell waste. Out of the world producing of coconut, Ghana is ranked 16th. The management of these agricultural waste has become a vital challenge to the development to the Ghanaian economy and …

Geotechnical Assessment and Stabilisation of Lateritic Soils in Tarkwa Using Rice Husk Ash for Road Construction PurposeBy Richard Mensah, Etornam Bani Fiadonu, M. Fauzaan
Abstract: The cost effectiveness of upgrading gravel roads to a sealed standard has challenged road authorities to make optimum use of naturally occurring materials such as laterites as sub-base and base materials. Untreated laterites have presented problems such as pavement swelling and depression in road construction. This research seeks to assess and stabilise the geotechnical properties of some lateritic soils in Tarkwa using Rice Husk Ash for road construction purposes. Lateritic …
