چکیده
–A detailed investigation has done Redmud an Alluminium industrial waste product has done to study its feasibility for use in road constructions. In this study Redmud was stabilized with 2, 4, 6, 8,10and 12 percentages of lime and unconfined compressive strength, Split tensile strength and California bearing ratio tests were conducted at 1, 3, 7 and 28 days curing periods respectively. From the experimental findings it was observed that 10% lime has shown higher values compared to other percentages. At 28 days it has shown maximum values than other curing periods for all percentages of lime. The CBR value obtained for 10% lime at 28 days is 25% so that it can be used as subgrade and sub base material in road construction.

Utilization of Soil Stabilization with Cement and Copper Slag as Subgrade Materials in Road Embankment Construction
In this study, unconfined compression tests have been conducted to investigate the impacts of copper slag on mechanical characteristics for stabilized cement and un-stabilized soil. Dozens of specimens were prepared at four percentages of cement (i.e. 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) and five percentages of copper slag (i.e. 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight of dry soil. The samples compacted into a cylind...
