Impact of Strength-Enhancing Admixtures on Stabilization of Expansive Soil by Addition of Alternative Binders

Abstract In this study, the stabilization process is introduced to a clayey expansive soil collected in southern Sweden. The tests examined strength parameters of stabilized by different binders using combination both traditional (cement and lime) alternative materials (slag Merit 5000, fly ash from SCA Lilla Edet coal combustion, ISO certified). practical goal was find binder mixture that optimized for with respect technical properties stabilizing agent as an inert ballast material. various velocity P -waves propagating through specimens. results show introducing slag 5000 admixture cement lime effective approach enhancing weak soil, which increases bearing capacity planned construction works. also shown bio yields better effect clay. Soil cement, cement/slag lime/slag becomes resistant freeze-thaw cycles, crucial roads building foundations.
