Stabilization of Alluvial Soil by using Boiler Feed Ash
Abstract: The feasibility of using industrial wastes, boiler feed ash (BFA) (rice husk-based) from an oil mill for soil stabilization was studied. The waste material is produced as an industrial by-product in the boiler of the oil mill; the waste contains silica compound up to 85%, hence it can be used as a stabilizing agent. The effects of adding BFA on Proctor's density, Atterberg’s limits, soil plasticity and the CBR value …
