Abstract
Building structures on weak soils with low strength and high compressibility carries great risks. When poor quality soil is available at the construction site, the best option is to modify the properties of the soil.In this study carried out under laboratory conditions, clayey soil material was stabilized by using a mixture of rock dust and cement. Compaction and free compressive strength tests were carried out with the mixtures prepared for this purpose. Natural and modified clay soil samples were subjected to unconfined compressive tests after compaction at optimum moisture content. The results of the experimental investigation showed that the mixture of rock dust and cement increased the unconfined compressive strength. As a result, it was concluded that the rock dust and cement mixture additive can be successfully used to stabilize clayey soils in geotechnical applications.
