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. …

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 …

Soil Stabilized Road
Abstract: This research examines the suitability of soil-stabilized roadways for light vehicular movement, offering an economical and practical alternative for areas with limited infrastructure development. Stabilizing soil involves improving its engineering properties by incorporating additives such as cement, lime, or other binding materials. Through stabilization, the treated soil can achieve a compressive strength of approximately 5 N/mm², or 500 tonnes per square meter (t/m²), which is sufficient to support loads imposed …

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 …

ENHANCING THE STRENGTH OF BLACK COTTON SOIL WITH ENZYME AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE
Abstract: Expansive soils are troublesome and prone to ground movements, which can cause substantial damage to underlying buildings as well as a loss in bearing capacity. Moisture fluctuation activates the expansive character of soils, causing it to swell and shrink. This has long been known in geotechnical engineering. To treat expansive soils, a variety of stabilizing additives such as lime, cement, and fly ash have been employed. In recent years the …

Indigenous Technique of Biochar Production and Effect of Biochar Application on the Geotechnical Properties of the Expansive Soils
Abstract: Expansive soils have been a source of risk to human beings as they causes huge economic loss including damage to buildings, roads and other civil infrastructures because of their low compressive strength and excessive settlement characteristics. One of the available options is to replace such soils before starting any civil engineering construction but looking to huge costs involved in replacement; it is generally not practiced nowadays. Another viable alternative is …

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 …

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 …
