Microstructure of Fine Clay Soils Stabilized with Sugarcane Molasses

Sugar cane molasses has proved cohesive and excellent performance on soil aggregates (fine particles). However, the microstructure of consolidated by is not yet subjected to research. The analysis results sample without (0%) samples at 8%, 12%, 16% show that acts structure clayey fine developing its airy matrix type (sample a qualified type, more solid. Consolidated molasses). We also observe presence inter-aggregate pores (mesopores) similar size in all samples. porosimetrical analyses (BJH) simultaneous porous volumes are reduced with increasing quantity. This latter, therefore, volume (micropore 2 nm mesopore 9 nm) reducing them which really means, occupies sample. this seems have any effect mesopores nm. Thus, product induces evolution towards highly dense condensed structure. Consequently, materials will mechanical properties far superior those molasses.
