Show allEFFECT OF LIME AND RICE HUSK ASH ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF BLACK COTTON SOIL
Abstract
Black Cotton Soils exhibit high swelling and shrinking when exposed to changes in moisture content and hence have been found to be most troublesome from engineering considerations. This behaviour is attributed to the presence of a mineral montmorillonit. The wide spread of the black cotton soil has posed challenges and problems to the construction activities. To encounter with it, innovative and non traditional research on waste utilization is gaining importance now a days. Soil improvement using the waste material like Slags, Rice husk ash, Silica fume etc., in geotechnical engineering has been in practice from environmental point of view. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using Rice Husk Ash with lime as soil stabilization material. A series of laboratory experiment has been conducted on 0.5% lime mixed black cotton soil blended with Rice Husk Ash in 10%, 20% and 30% by weight of dry soil.
