A Study on Soil Stabilization using Cement and Plastic Fibres
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 …

Application of GIS Web Based in Construction Management
Abstract: Project management is the process and task of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources, procedures, and protocols to achieve specific goals in scientific or daily problems. In the construction world, it is crucial to monitor project management because each project has its duration and every contractor needs to complete the project within the given time. Moreover, exceeding the duration given will cause the penalty to the contractor which in turn …

Experimental Investigation of High Strength Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental studies concerning high strength in geopolymer concrete. So far many researches were carried out in geopolymer concrete and also it enhances the strength and durability of OPC concrete. Several compositions of geopolymer concrete mixes were executed by varying the percentage of fly ash and GGBS. By finding the optimum percentage of fly ash and GGBS from the experimental results, the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete …

Influence of Additives and Durability Cycles on the Resilient Modulus of Asphalt Stabilized Soil
Abstract: Asphalt stabilized subgrade soils usually show a nonlinear and time dependent response under traffic loading. The elastic property of asphalt stabilized soil is defined by the resilient modulus to represent the nonlinearity behavior with respect to stress level. The aim of this work is to study the impact of durability cycles and additives on the resilient modulus and plastic parameter of the asphalt stabilized soil. Additive materials such as lime …

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