The study focussed on stabilizing potential of ash obtained from calcination of cattle bones from slaughter house in Ibadan. Cattle bones obtained were burnt in an open air. The residue was fed into furnace at about 1100 o C for four hours, allowed to cool, milled and sieved with sieve of aperture 75 micro metre to obtain bone ash (BA). The bone ash (BA) was used to stabilize four soil samples ...

Typically thermal power plants are located near to surface coal mines that produce huge amount of fly ash as a waste byproduct. Disposal of fly ash causes significant economic and environmental problems. Now-a-days, research is going on for bulk utilization of fly ash. In order to increase its percentage utilization, an investigation was carried out to evaluate its potential for haul road const...

This paper aims to present an experimental and numerical study on the effect of wetting-drying cycles and plasticity index on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of lime stabilized clayey soils. The numerical analysis was carried out based on finite element method for comparison between results of experimental and numerical studies. Three clays with different plasticity indices were mixed with v...

The California bearing ratio (CBR) test is the most widely spread method of determining strength pavement material and fundamental to design practice in countries. This expensive, laborious time consuming, overcome this, Quasi static cone penetrometer machine was fabricated used measure consistency limits (liquid limit-LL, Plastic limit-PL Plasticity index-PI), which were develop an empirical e...

The increase in population has made it possible for better, more cost-effective vehicular services, which warrants good roadways. sub-base that serves as a stress-transmitting media and distributes vehicle weight to resist shear radial deformation is critical component of the pavement structures. Developing novel techniques can assess soil’s geotechnical characteristics performance an urgent ne...
