Abstract
The disposal of solid waste now-a-days is of major concern. Solid waste like flyash is generated in large amounts of 110 million tonnes every year. By using large amount of flyash in pavement construction will bring about economy in pavement design as well as save the fertile soil which can be used for cultivation. Through our paper we tried to focus on major soils around Pune city. We collected soils from Bhor Village which was of alluvial nature and Katraj Tunnel which was of Black Cotton soil nature. We performed various experiments by taking soil with different percentages of flyash and lime. The percentages are as follows:• Soil (Blank) • Soil + 5% Lime + 10% Flyash • Soil + 5% Lime + 20% Flyash • Soil + 5% Lime + 30% Flyash On the basis of tests performed on above percentages we found out that the soils can be stabilized and the pavement was designed using CBR method. By doing this we were able to reduce the pavement thickness for the same strength and hence gained considerable economy.
