Experimental study on stabilization of clayey soil using agricultural and industrial waste

Abstract

The purpose of this experimental study is intended to explore if SCBA (Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Marble Dust) may help clayey soil stabilize and hence to overcome environmental pollution. BA (Bagasse Ash) is the waste produced by the sugar factory after the processing of sugarcane. Factories dispose of the BA in the landfills which affect the environment, one of the reasons to do this experiment is to make use of this waste product for a sustainable environment. At the time of marble manufacturing, marble dust is produced. The soil around a building's foundation plays an important influence on its stability. As a result, the engineer should have a complete understanding of the components that influence soil behaviour and can be affected by the soil stabilization process. The soil is treated with bagasse ash and a partial replacement of marble dust (13 percent, 17 percent, and 21 percent) (10 percent, 12 percent, and 14 percent). In this study, a large number of specimens were made, and then the test specimens were analyzed for compaction characteristics and CBR. It was discovered that an increase in MD (Marble Dust) and BA increased the compaction and CBR characteristics to a certain extent.
