Abstract:

In this investigation, silica fume (SF) was used as an additive material to study its influence on the characteristics of expansive soil. The soil used in this research was prepared in a lab by mingling bentonite (50 percent by soil dry weight) with natural soil. According to (USCS), the prepared soil was classified as (CH) with a liquid limit of 67.5 percent and a plastic limit of 29.3%. Expansive soil was mixed with different percentages of (SF), (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13%), and experiments were conducted for treated and untreated soil to examine the impact of (SF) on Atterberg's limits, com

<em>One of the most crucial components used in a variety of construction projects, such as earthen dams and canals, is soil. It is important to use a variety of techniques to increase soil stability because soil may already have all the resistance qualities required for a project. Eggshell powder is added to the geotechnical properties in the laboratory tests to improve the behaviour of the engineering properties as a result of this project's investigation.

Abstract:

The black cotton soil is known as expansive type of soil which expands suddenly and starts swelling when it comes in contact with moisture. Due to this property of soil the strength and other properties of soil are very poor. To improve its properties, it is necessary to stabilize he soil by different stabilizers. Expansive type of soil shows unpredictable behavior with different kind of stabilizers. Soil stabilization is a process to treat a soil to maintain, alter or improve the performance of soil.

Abstract:

The global issue of expansive soil is the root cause of significant harm to structures designed for civil engineering. The difficulty with expansive soils is that they expand when water is absorbed and contract when it evaporates because of clay minerals including kaolinite, montmorillonite. Because of its poor shear resistance and load-bearing capacity, it makes it difficult to build foundations for Infra Construct. The expansive soil is widely distributed worldwide, especially in certain regions of Pakistan including Sindh, Punjab, and KPK. The soil was gathered for this study from Kohat KPK

Abstract:

Building on weak or soft soils presents issues such as differential settlements, insufficient strength, and significant compressibility. Clayey soils are weak, and as a result, a pavement will not be able to withstand it for long enough to work as intended. There are several methods available to boost the soil's ability to support more weight, such as providing reinforcement and stabilizing the soil. One way to improve the geotechnical qualities of soil is soil stabilization, which has become an important practice in construction engineering and allows for the successful use of industrial wast

Abstract:

One of the problematic soils is expansive soil, which has a strong tendency to shrink when dried and to inflate when its moisture level changes. In India, expansive soils made up of clays are referred to as black cotton soils. The alternating swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils results in foundation structures, including buildings and earth retaining wall pavements, to become distressed. For geotechnical engineers, comprehending the behavior of expansive soil and implementing the proper control measures has been a challenging challenge.

Dispersive soils which occur in central region of Myanmar are easily erodible and serious problem of stability of embankments, earth dams, earths and earth retaining structures. These soils are found in regions where the annual rainfall is less than 800 mm. Dispersive soil is structurally unstable and the presence of dispersive soil is indicated by occurrence of erosion gullies, sink holes, spew holes and piping. In some parts of the central Myanmar, dispersive soils have to be used for construction purpose since no other soil material is available. Dispersion only occurs in non saline or rain
