Strength and Compressibility Behaviours of Expansive Soil Treated with Coffee Husk Ash and Xanthan Gum
Abstract: The strength of the sub-grade, the caliber of the subbase and base course, the surrounding conditions, and the characteries of the soil utilized are some of the variables that might impact how long a road lasts. Because expansive soil swells and shrinks in response to variation in moisture content, roads constructed on it are especially vulnerable to early deterioration. Buildings with black cotton soils have experienced different settlement due to …

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 …

Comparative Study of Soft Soils Characteristics with Cement Waste Dust, Lime Powder and Boiled Rice Water
Abstract: Improvement of soft soil properties and effective pavement system performance of soft soils can be done only by stabilization process. It is an effective method. Jointly or individually, Chemical and/or Mechanical stabilization is done for various soils depending on the nature of that soil. As far as soft soils are concern, they are having reactive nature and so chemical stabilization is the best choice to improve such soil. Mainly, in …
