Role of Cement and Fly Ash in Soil Stabilization
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 …

Slope stability and factor of safety analysis on different region of soil by using geo studio slope/w software
Abstract: The one of the main trouble in the industry of construction is on account of topography nature and the weather conditions is Slope stability . Excavations, hill roads, railway lines, embankments, earth dams, open-cut mines, reservoirs and coastal slope stability these type of applications can come under the consideration of slope engineering. One of the frequent disaster is Slope failure which can generate great loss in property and life. The …

LOAD SETTLEMENT BEHAVIOUR OF LOOSE GRANULAR SOIL FILL WITH RUBBER NODED BAMBOO GRID
Abstract: Soil Reinforcement is the widely accepted technique to improve the bearing capacity of challenging sites. There are various natural as well as synthetic material available as reinforcement for soil. Nowadays geosynthetic reinforced granular fill material is widely used in soft sub grade soil. This manuscript deals with the experimental studies carried out to explore the possibility of using naturally available bamboo as a geogrid to increase the bearing capacity of …

Improvement in the Characteristic of Clayey Soil asnSubgrade Stabilized with Natural Fibre :A Review
Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, clayey soil is considered to be the most complicated deposits in the field of construction purposes. Due to its low bearing strength, shearing strength, high compressibility ,volume change and swell-shrink properties it becomes difficult to construct building and pavement structures which cause a great concern for engineers while designing. Construction of pavements should be done as it is strong and durable for their design life by overcoming …

EVALUATION OF MINE WASTE ROCKS FOR USE AS MATERIALS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Abstract: Mine rock wastes are materials that are removed in order to access and mine the ore. They pose significant environmental challenges due to their existence in large volumes. The chemical and geomechanical properties of mine rock wastes were determined to aid in assessing their suitability for use as aggregates for road construction. The chemical and geotechnical test performed on the samples were Sulphate, pH, Aggregate Crushing Value, Sodium Sulphate Soundness, …

EFFECT OF ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION ON THE GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL AND STABILIZATION TECHNIQUES: A REVIEW.
Abstract: Soil contamination by engine oil basically occurs due to spills and leaks. It is common near highways, petrol pumps, workshops, off shore petroleum productions etc. The change in geotechnical properties of soil due to engine oil contamination may cause serious problems like cracking and settlement of structures. The paper aims at reviewing the works of researchers on the effect of engine oil contamination on the various geotechnical properties of soil. …
