Due to its high organic matter, moisture content, and low bearing capacity, peat soil needs be stabilized for use as a subgrade. The soybean crude urease calcite precipitation (SCU-CP) method is grouting technique using carbonate biocatalyst. This study aims analyze the effect of SCU-CP density on California ratio (CBR) value obtain best stabilization alternative reducing field’s compaction ene...

The fine-grained soil including the problematic ones can cause many difficulties in project accomplishment. Settlement and swelling are among the problems of the fine-grained soils. The present study compared the effects of the polypropylene waste plastic (PWP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) on geotechnical properties of the clayey soils for the subgrade design. To this end, the PWP ...

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is defined as a ratio expressed in percentage of force per unit area required to penetrate a soil mass with a circular plunger of 50 mm diameter at the rate of 1.25 mm/min to that required for corresponding penetration in a standard material. The ratio is usually determined for penetration of 2.5 and 5 mm. Where the ratio at 5 mm is consistently higher than that a...
