Red Earth Development of a Soil-Based Composite Using Bagasse Ash and Lime: Effects on Plasticity and Compaction Characteristics of Red Earth
Abstract: The concept of sustainable soil composites (SSC) emerges through blending red earth with bagasse ash (BA) and hydrated lime to enhance geotechnical properties and enable productive reuse of agro-industrial waste. Red earth functions as the matrix, BA acts as a fine pozzolanic microfiller, and lime serves as the chemical binder. BA content ranges from 0% to 60%, with 10% identified as optimal; subsequent lime additions from 1% to 5% evaluate …

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 …

Compressive and Tensile Behavior of Lime Added Geopolymer Concrete.
Abstract: Concrete is the most used material, which required large quantities of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). OPC production is held responsible for some of the CO2 emissions, which polluted the atmosphere. Hence, it is inevitable to find an alternative material to OPC. Geopolymer concrete is a best alternative which shall be produced by the chemical action of inorganic molecules. This paper focuses fly-ash based Geopolymer concrete with addition of lime. In …

Economical Analysis of Lime and Fly Ash Stabilized Flexible Pavements
Abstract: India is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. Roads are to be designed with good reliability to fulfill the long-term performance during the design period. Most of the time flexible pavements in India need to be constructed on problematic subgrade soil. Such subgrades have low California bearing ratio which leads to more pavement thickness. Decrease in availability of suitable sub-base and base course materials for highway …

IMPACT OF HYDRATED LIME AND SBS ON HMA MOISTURE SUSCEPTIBILITY
Abstract: Abstract In recent years, many of the newly built asphalt and concrete roads in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities have broken down too soon. This has hurt the country's economy and public safety. One of the main reasons why these newly built roads break down is because of water damage. Leaking water weakens the bond between the aggregate and the asphalt, which makes it more likely that sidewalks will fall …
