Abstract
Waste materials dumping are one of the major issues nowadays. Dumping waste material in environment causes harmful diseasesand pollutes the surrounding. The paper is an attempt to utilize industrial waste such as waste foundry sand (10%, 20% and 30%) and recron 3S fiber (0.5%, 1.5% and 2.5%) in stabilization of clayey soil. The various geotechnical characteristics such as liquid limit, compaction, and California bearing ratio test have been evaluated for clay and clay in combination with waste foundry sand(WFS) and recron 3S fiber. It was revealed that adding waste foundry sand separately to clayey soil reduces liquid limit. The addition of 20% waste foundry sand along with 1.5% recron 3S fiber provides maximum dry density value. The California bearing ratio value was improved on adding optimum amount of both the materials to clayey soil. This assures that adding WFS and recron 3S fibre to clayey soil to stabilize it is a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial approach of soil stabilization.
