Abstract

Waste products such as fly ash can be an economically advantageous alternative for lime and cement in ground improvement techniques. Current state of knowledge indicates the possibility of using this material successfully in various engineering projects. However, the chemical composition of fly ash is related to the type of coal and combustion technology used in power plant. This fact indicates need for further studies aiming determination the effect of fly ash addition on soil properties. Rate of soil improvement considered in macro level includes designation of treated soil mechanical properties, inter alia compressibility characteristics. Presented results of laboratory tests are a part of a larger experimental work aiming to determine the suitability of fly ash from fluidized bed combustion for the purpose of soil strengthen with the use of selected ground improvement.
