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.

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

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.

The study of geotechnical index properties of soils in Oworoshoki, Kosofe, Lagos State was conducted to characterize and classify the index properties of soil samples. Disturbed and undisturbed soils were collected at different shallow depths (1m, 2m and 3m) from the study area and laboratory test was conducted. The laboratory test conducted includes natural moisture content, atterberg limits (liquid limit and plastic limit), particle size distribution, specific gravity, unit weight and hydrometer. The results of the test were gotten: natural moisture content as 23.5%, 24.5% and 25.3% , liquid

Oil-contaminated soils have been paid much attention due to the reclamation of industrial lands in coastal cities of China. As known, oil-contaminated soils are inapplicable for construction due to their weak engineering properties, thus leading to the requirement of remediation and reclamation for oil-contaminated sites.

The aim of this study is predicting the strength of the subgrade soil from fine grained soils. The findings obtained from test results are Atterberg limit, grain size, compaction, and free swell tests. The California bearing ratios were conducted to find out the strength parameters, and correlated with liquid limit, plastic limit, plastic index, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.

Changes in geotechnical behaviour of fine grained soils under the influence of ionic concentrations and pH depends on the chemistry of the soil constituents and the pore fluid chemistry. The geotechnical modifications of soil behaviour largely depend on the clay particles and the diversities in the nature of the clay types is due to their specific surface and the net electrical charge on them.
