Abstract |
|
Soil Stabilization is the alteration of soils to enhance their physical properties. Stabilization can increase the shear strength of a soil and control the shrink-swell properties of a soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub-grade to support pavements and foundations. Soil stabilization lessens permeability and compressibility of the soil mass in earth structures. In common soil stabilization changes physical, chemical and mechanical properties to meet the engineering principle. Soil stabilization can be achieved by in-situ stabilization or ex-situ stabilization methodology. In the present case, an investigation is done to increase the strength properties of cohesive soil using a Bagasse ash which is a solid waste and the mixture is treated with Montmorillonite as an additive and is tested for various strength parameters. |
