Abstract
Efficient use of waste materials is a proven solution to the problems associated with their disposal. Flyash is one such material produced from thermal power plants requires a huge disposal area and creates environmental problems. Stabilization of weak soils with flyash not only improves engineering properties of soil, but also provides answers to issues of flyash disposal. This paper reports the results of laboratory investigation carried out on clayey soil stabilized with flyash and hydrated lime. The effect of lime, flyash and curing days on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR) and compaction parameters of stabilized soil is studied. An attempt made for establishing a relationship between tensile strength and compressive strength of stabilized mixes. Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) of lime-flyash stabilized soil at 56 days curing varied in the range 22 to 143 kN/m2 and UCS from 143 to 2172 kN/m2. Remarkable strength increase indicates that the clayey soil can be productively stabilize with flyash and hydrated lime
