This study investigates the effect of pozzolana and quick lime as stabilizer materials on expansive soil properties. Disturbed sample was collected from Al-Qadarif city in east Sudan. The basic properties, swelling strength were measured. shows very weak high potential. Mineralogical analysis tests conducted to using XRD tests. contains significant amount montmorillonite mineral (86%). Laborato...

The type of soil known as expansive is capable changing its volume through swelling and contracting. These types soils are mostly composed montmorillonite, a mineral with the capacity to absorb water, which causes heave by increasing volume. Due their contract or expand in response seasonal fluctuations water content, these might prove be significant risk engineering structures. Many studies ha...

Objectives: To determine the strength and swelling behavior of black cotton soil (expansive soil) using a shredded rubber tyre as an additive. Methods: Series unconfined compressive California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were carried out on mixed with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% tyres, results compared untreated samples. The study also investigated influence characteristics by performing pressure test. Find...

Expansive soils exhibit detrimental swelling and shrinking characteristics in response to variations water content, posing a threat engineering safety. Utilizing industrial solid waste for improving the properties of expansive soil presents promising solution due its low pollution high recoverability. This paper reviews progress research on various wastes stabilizing soil. The review comprehens...
