Improvement of Soil Characteristics Using Waste (plastic, steel and wood)
Abstract: ABSTRACTSoil stabilization is the process of altering the engineering properties. Soil properties would be altered by adding waste like plastic from beverage bottles, steel dust and wood waste. In present scenario disposal of plastic waste has become a major issue because plastic materials can take many years (above 400 years) for its decomposition and may cause severe damage to environment and human health. The problem which was associated with plastic …

Ground Improvement Techniques for Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil by Using Fly Ash
Abstract: In India 22% of the geographical area is covered by expansive ‘Black Cotton Soil’. These soils are characterized by their highly swelling and shrinkage properties. In dry conditions these soils have high strength which is almost completely lost when they come in contact with water. These soils are having high degree of expansion which creates a lot of problems during the execution of work and after completion of it. Hence, …

A Review on Stabilization of Expansive Soil Using Different Methods
Abstract: Expansive soils are difficult soils for construction purposes because of their cyclic swell/shrink behavior. These soils undergo significant expansion when subjected to an increase in water content or shrink under evaporation condition (when water out). Bulging soils can be improved in several ways. Either by adding materials such as cement, lime, sand and adding river mixture soil. or these soils treated with chemical additives. When added to expansive soils in …

Comparing Consistency Limits of Black Cotton Soil with Cement Waste Dust and Wood Shaving Ash
Abstract: In the field of civil engineering, soil has to play a prime role right from planning a structure to the end of life of that structure. But some of the soils do not offer that service which a civil engineer wants to get. Shrinking in dry state and swelling in wet state, is the well-known proved proverb for black cotton soil. In Saurashtra, southern part of the zone has such …

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 …

Use of Additives in Soil Stabilization
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. …
