Impact of Red Stone Dust and Polymer Fabric in Enhancing the Properties of Black Cotton Soil
Abstract: To enhance the mechanical properties of problematic black cotton soil, engineers are focusing on reinforcing the soil with geosynthetic materials. This attention is particularly directed towards improving the strength characteristics of black cotton soil, given its inherent challenges associated with volume changes and plasticity. In this comprehensive study, red stone dust waste is introduced in varying percentages ranging from 5% to 35% to stabilize the black cotton soil. The goal …

High Strength Concrete Using Stone Waste
Abstract: Concrete is still the main material used in modern construction, and high strength concrete (HSC) is especially important for structures that need to be very strong. With more focus on being environmentally friendly, using waste materials from industries like stone in concrete has become a good way to make construction more eco-friendly. However, getting rid of stone waste, such as granite slurry, marble powder, and quarry dust, causes environmental problems …

Stone Waste as a Soil Stabilizer
Abstract: The rapid expansion of construction, mining, and stone-processing industries has led to the large-scale generation of stone waste materials such as marble powder, granite slurry, quarry fines, and sandstone residues. The indiscriminate disposal of these wastes poses serious environmental concerns, including land degradation, dust pollution, and contamination of surface and groundwater resources. At the same time, weak and problematic soils continue to present major challenges in geotechnical engineering applications, particularly …
