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 Alternative Fuels in Indian Cement Industry: A Review
Abstract: The making of Portland cement is an energy concentrated process. It produces significant pollution and uses huge amounts of non-renewable energy. With growing pressures to cut greenhouse gas emissions due to cement manufacture, research and expansion of fuel alternatives and their effect on the manufacturing process have become an industry focal point. The intrinsic properties of sintering cement in a rotary kiln allows for a large number of fuels to …

Recent Trends in Rotary Kiln and Refractory Material Patterns in Cement Production: A Review Approach
Abstract: The manufacturing of cement and other industrial operations depend heavily on rotary kilns, which use refractory materials to endure high temperatures and challenging chemical conditions. With an emphasis on their effects on durability and operating efficiency, this study looks at the most recent developments in rotary kiln technology and refractory material choices. Various rotary kiln designs, typical refractory material patterns, and the difficulties posed by kiln failures are all covered. …

Performance Evaluation of Modified Cold Mix Asphalt by Some Waste Materials
Abstract: The aim of study is to evaluate modified CMA volumetric, mechanical and durability properties by some waste materials. Previous studies described that the mechanical properties of CMA are shown to be influenced by different factors including base bitumen grade, porosity of the mix, curing time and additives. The current research is designed to use the waste and by-product materials as filler to enhance the conventional CMA early age strength. 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 …
