Abstract
Abstract: Soil plays an essential role in the construction of any civil engineering structure. It must be able to withstand the loads without breaking down. In some areas, the soil may not be strong enough to withstand the incoming loads. To address this, there are many methods of soil stabilization available, but some of these methods, such as chemical stabilization, lime stabilization, etc., can have an adverse effect on the soil's chemical composition. In this paper, we will be looking at the effects of fly ash on the strength gain of an expansive clay soil when combined with different percentages of fly ash, such as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. We will also be looking at tests to determine the strength gain of the soil with and without fly ash. The results of the laboratory study will show that adding fly ash to the expansive clay soil reduces the soil's plasticity index and increases its MDD. The expansive clayey soil's strength characteristics have improved.
