Abstract
Abstract: Backfilled land for Reinforced Concrete Cement (RCC) structures emerges as a sustainable solution. However, the inherent differences between naturally deposited soil and backfilled soil necessitate a comprehensive assessment of its index and engineering properties. This project employs core cutter and water content tests, supplemented by direct shear tests, to evaluate the suitability of backfilled soil for construction purposes. Furthermore, bearing capacity analysis is conducted utilizing Terzaghi's equation at minimum cost to ascertain the load-bearing capabilities of various foundation types. The incorporation of the bearing capacity table from the Indian building code facilitates the determination of requisite bearing capacities tailored to different soil types. Through this project, a systematic approach to utilizing backfilled soil for RCC structures is proposed, addressing both environmental concerns and the imperative for sustainable urban development of India.
