Abstract

Abstract: Soil stabilization is a technique used in civil engineering to enhance the engineering properties of soil so that it can withstand large loads without shear failure. Many chemicals, by products and waste materials can be utilized for stabilization. In the present work, the behavior of soil after addition of the Concrete Slush Waste (varying proportion 4%, 8% and 12%) and Polyester Fibre (varying proportion 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%; length 40 mm) was studied at different proportion and then various soil properties like Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density, California Bearing Ratio, and Unconfined Compressive Strength values were determined. To conclude the current experimental research, it was ascertained that a combination of Concrete Slush Waste and Polyester Fibre can be used to improve the various engineering properties of soil.
