Stabilization of Soil in Road Construction Using Lime and Fly Ash

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, inefficient soil properties are a crucial concern in engineering projects. In some cases, enhancing the characteristics of unsuitable soil is a necessary step to facilitate construction. Pavement structures built on weak soil sub grades exhibit premature distress, which leads to the early failure of the pavement. Silty soil often exhibits undesirable engineering behaviour, such as low bearing capacity, and high moisture susceptibility. Therefore, stabilizing these soils is a common practice to improve their strength.
