Soil modification is a technique for improving poor soil properties to make them suitable engineering projects. Regarding the previous studies, various types of stabilisations were used improve mechanical in soil. Several methodologies and experimental tests study positive negative effects utilising fibre on lime/cement-modified This paper reviews strength behaviour microstructural Fibre-Reinfo...

Soil reagent mixing (SRM) is a remediation technique whereby powder or slurried reagents are delivered and mixed in-situ or ex-situ with contaminated soils or sediments by augers or other types of soil mixers. This paper summarises the work carried out for a laboratory treatability study of SRM on clayey soil samples contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon compounds from a petrol filling statio...

Soil stabilization has been widely used to improve soil strength and durability or to prevent erosion and dust generation. Generally to reduce problems of clayey soils in engineering work and to stabilize these soils additional materials are used. The most common materials are lime, fly ash and cement. Using this materials, although improve soil property , but in some cases due to financial pro...

Plastic waste (PW) constitutes a nuisance to our environment despite several efforts reduce, reuse and recycle it. This study experimentally explores the possibility of storing plastic within cement-stabilised soil that can be used as road pavement layer material without adversely affecting geotechnical characteristics stabilised soil. The is an A-2-6 soil, according classification by American ...

Aiming at the defects of traditional curing agent in strengthening soft clay, a new type inorganic binder soil has been developed. Compared with P.O 42.5 cement, stabilizer smaller fineness and larger specific surface area. The strength solidified by is lower initial stage, but it increases rapidly after 24 hours. When dosage 10%, 28-day 2.1 times that cement. can form more calcium hydroxide cr...

This paper shows the use of dimension stone waste in manufacture soil-cement bricks. Initially, a sample soil was analyzed for mineralogical composition, particle size distribution (classifying it proportion silt, sand, and clay), physical performance by plasticity (Atterberg limits specified standard NBR 7180). A series soil/waste/cement mixtures were prepared with contents up to 90% wt.% wast...

The Jackson Lake Dam was constructed in 1917 in the Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming. The dam was a hydraulic fill placed on a natural alluvium and outwash foundation. The Bureau of Reclamation (Burec) determined that the dam and its foundation would be susceptible to liquefaction and failure during a potential earthquake; a series of contracts was let to remove and replace the d...

Cement is proven increasing the strength of soft clays. Monmorillonite has a high shrinkage. Another hand, Kaolin small Waste material usage for stabilization agent was widely carried out this decade. BAFA (bottom ash fly ash) and POFA (palm oil fuel are rich in Silica Alumina, so they used to substitute cement. The study examined effect Monmorillonite, Kaolin, on clay with Bentonite from 4% 16...

Compressive strength and concrete slump are the most important required parameters for design, depending on many factors such as concrete mix design, concrete material, experimental cases, tester skills, experimental errors etc. Since many of these factors are unknown, and no specific and relatively accurate formulation can be found for strength and slump, therefore, the concrete properties ca...
