EFFECT OF STABILIZATION IN EXPANSIVE SOIL FROM MATERIALS HAVE RICH SOURCE OF CALCIUM

Pratibha Choudhary and Shivam Acharya

Abstract

One of the common methods used to revise the concepts of road soil and black layer is soil improvement. This approach meets the nuances of development and involves improving the features of materials that are currently in the workplace. A final method of soil improvement is to replace loose dirt with more stable materials such as concrete, topsoil, geotextiles, and geo-grids to enhance the physical-mechanical qualities of such clays, conventional stabilizers, including hydrated lime, basic Portland concrete, sulphated oil, and dark top are frequently utilized. When used for soil improvement, substance stabilizers can reduce the negative ecological impact of the development industry and can be used as a soil stabilizer for kaolin clay soils. Due to the use of costly and sustainable ingredients like cement and lime, the expansion of kaolin is still difficult. The combination of SF and ESA stabilizes sensitive kaolin, as shown by the particle size distribution (PSD), specific gravity. Attberg limit, compression parameters, and pure shear strength (USS) properties are utilized in this work. In this study, the authors used materials like calcium-rich eggshells and lime to examine the stabilization effects of various soils. To establish hardness, ideal moisture content, maximum dry density, etc., several tests are carried out.
