Use of waste glass powder in improving the properties of expansive clay soils

<p>Expansive soils pose a danger to the foundations of engineering structures due their poor properties. These are usually treated using mechanical techniques, and chemical stabilizers. However, production these chemicals is not friendly environment, thus need adopt waste materials. Therefore, this research investigated efficacy utilizing crushed glass alter properties soil. The study's objectives were achieved by conducting experiments on non-stabilized soil, powder (WGP) stabilized soil in percentages 3, 5, 7, 9% dry weight findings showed that adding subgrade strengthens it reduces its susceptibility volume change. highest compressive strength was obtained after mixing 7% with beyond that, reduced. study found inclusion content suitable for stabilization possessing similar ones area.</p>
