    Shear Strength Behavior of Different Soils

    By Surendra Roy

    Abstract: The magnitude of shear strength of soils plays a major role in determining bearing capacity of shallow footings, frictional resistance for piles, stability of slopes, etc. for the safe and economic design of civil engineering structures. Based on the ideas of different researchers, shear strength of clay can be improved either by mixing sand or gravel, silty sand with gravel, and sand either with silt or gravel or granulated blast …

    Use of Additives in Soil Stabilization

    By Surendra Roy

    Abstract: Soil stabilization is a ground improvement technique through which soil is made strong enough to bear the structures load. The swell-shrink properties of expansive soils can be reduced and made useful for construction purposes using various stabilizing materials like cement, lime, fly ash, chemicals, etc. Cement stabilization causes environmental pollution. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation and enzymatic-induced carbonate precipitation methods can be considered as innovative methods in place of cement soil stabilization. …

    Role of Cement and Fly Ash in Soil Stabilization

    By Surendra Roy, Abhishek Jaiswal, Prajwal Raj

    Abstract: Soil stabilization changes the engineering properties of soil and produces strength and stability. Use of industrial wastes and manufactured materials in soil stabilization can be cost effective and environmental friendly. As there is a growth of habitations surrounding the PSIT campus, therefore, soil samples collected from this area were analyzed for its plasticity index properties. It was found that soils of this area come under low plastic category. Hence, the …
