Improvement of Properties of Expansive Soil using Terrazyme
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 …

Comparative Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil using Cement Kiln Dust and Ceramic Dust
Abstract: In India, expansive soils cover about 20% of total land area, these soils increase in volume (swell) during winter season and decrease in volume (shrink) during summer season. Due to this contradiction behaviour many civil engineering structures constructed on expansive soils get damaged severely, out of which pavement is the most because they are lightweight and extend over large areas. Stabilization of Expansive soil is of most importance, since to …

Assessing the Influence of Loading Mode and Stabilization on the Deformation of Gypseous soil
Abstract: Gypseous subgrade soil usually exhibit acceptable strength when compacted with optimum moisture requirement and tested in dry condition. However, it loses its strength when came in touch with water. Such behaviour possesses a risk of failure when such soil is implemented in the construction of roadway embankment. In the present investigation, Gypseous soil was implemented in the construction of eight embankment models. The first model was the soil tested in …

Fracture Characterization of Glass-Sheep Wool Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid Composite using Stacking Sequence
Abstract: AbstractFibre-reinforced composites are advance market share in structural applications, but further growth is restricted by their lack of toughness. Fibre hybridization is a hopeful approach to toughen composite materials. By combining two or more fibre types, these hybrid composites offer a better balance in mechanical properties than non-hybrid composites. The research and advancement in the area of natural fiber composites (NFC) are gaining more importance due to its eco-friendly, biodegradable, …
