Effects of Glass Fibres on the Shear Strength of Sandy Soil
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of glass fibres on the shear strength parameters of sand. To study the effect, sand was mixed with three different glass fibre contents (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of length of 10 mm. Series of direct shear test was carried out to study the behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced sand. After studying the results, it clearly showed that the shear strength and angle of internal friction …

Strength Behavior of Expansive Soil Treated with Lime
Abstract: AbstractThe main objective of the soil stabilization is to increase the bearing capacity of the soil. Unstable soils can create significant problems for pavements or structures. Therefore soil stabilization techniques are necessary to ensure the good stability of soil so that it can successfully sustain the load of the superstructures, especially in case of soil which are highly active; also, it saves a lot of time and millions of money …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Strength Studies of Fly Ash Stabilized with Lime and Gypsum
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of a composite derived from stabilizing fly ash with lime and gypsum. The initial part of the study examines the effect of lime (4%, 8%, and 12% by mass of dry fly ash) on compaction (in terms of density/moisture relationship) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of fly ash. Further the effect of adding small amount of gypsum (1%) on strength was …

Review on Main Equations for Measuring Spray Properties in Centrifugal Injectors
Abstract: The method of fuel injection has a significant effect on the stability and proper mixing of fuel and oxidizer, which is done by the injector. In other words, the injector is a device that converts fluid into droplets. The faster and better the particle crushing rate, the faster the fluid particles will evaporate, resulting in higher thermal efficiency and higher thrust force. Therefore, how to inject fuel into the combustion …
