Permeability of Lateritic Soil Treated with Lime and Rice Husk Ash
نویسنده
چکیده
A-7-6 lateritic soil was treated at British Standard Light (BSL) compaction energy with up to 8% lime content (by dry weight of the soil) at 2% variations and each was admixed with up to 8% rice husk ash (RHA) at 2% variations. Effects of the ash on the soil-lime mixtures were investigated with respect to unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and coefficient of permeability. The UCS of the specimens increased with increasing RHA content at specified lime contents to their maximum values at 6% RHA. The coefficient of permeability of the cured specimens decreased with increase in the ash content to their minimum values at 6% RHA content and beyond this point, the permeability slightly rises. These results indicate that no more than 6% RHA can be used to increase UCS and reduce permeability of lateritic soil.

The Effect of Rice Husk Ash on Mechanical Properties of Clayey Soils Stabilized with Lime in the Presence of Sulphate
Geotechnical engineers, in many cases face with low strength or high swelling potential of clayey soils. Stabilization methods are used to improve the mechanical properties of this type of soils. Lime and cement are the most popular materials used in chemical stabilization of clayey soils. If sulphate exists in the stabilized clayey soil with lime, or if soil is exposed to sulphates, problems s...

متن کاملA mathematical model for optimization of strength of concrete: A case study for shear modulus of Rice Husk Ash Concrete
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is natural Pozzolan containing reactive silica and/or aluminum. When the material is mixed with lime in powdered form and in the presence of water, it will set and harden like cement. This work uses Osadebe’s optimization model to optimize the shear modulus of concrete made from RHA. The strengths predicted by the model are in good agreement with their corresponding experime...
متن کاملOptimum Utilization of Rice Husk Ash for Stabilization of Sub-base Materials in Construction and Repair Projects of Forest Roads
Forest roads play an important role in forest management, timber transportation and forest protection. However, minimum standards are considered for pavement materials due to the traffic volume and economic situation of forestry projects. Therefore, this paper aims to (a) evaluate the role of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a soil stabilizer of sub-base layer to improve the quality of materials and (b) ...
