Abstract
This study provides how waste materials can be used to stabilize the soft soil. Utilization of three different waste materials in stabilizing the soft soils is focused in this paper. In this analysis, various by products of different industries such as bagasse ash from sugar cane industries, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) from manufacture of iron and ceramic tile dust from construction waste are used as chemical agents to increase the strength and durability of the soils. First the baggase ash and ceramic tile dust are mixed with soil and tested with three different proportions of same each as 4%, 6% and 8%. The best among those proportions is determined by the test results of Maximum dry density (MDD), Optimum moisture content (OMC), and California bearing ratio (CBR). Secondly with the optimum content of 15% of GGBS and ceramic tile dust of four percentages as 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% are added to the soil and tests are conducted with that different proportions. Finally from the results obtained the best proportion which provides good stabilization with more feasibility in most economic way is determined.
