Abstract
Abstract: The phenomenal development in civil engineering infrastructure in developing countries like India, soil stabilization has emerged as à key problem in the engineering industry. Engineers have been attempting to enhance the engineering properties of low-quality soil due to their negative impact on project performance. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, there has been a remarkable shift towards green and sustainable technologies. Reuse of waste materials have been advocated for quite a while to improve the properties of poor soils open up to new avenue and double advantage of waste management. In the project investigation an attempt to evacuate the Plasticity characteristics, Strength characteristics and Compressibility characteristics were conducted on selected soil as per Indian Standards using GGBS and Alkali Activated Solution (AAS) with different percentages and curing for 0,3,7,14, and 28 days to analyze the variation of engineering properties. From the results combination of (GGBS + AAS) proved to increase of strength and reduce compressibility characteristics. The combination of GGBS + AAS is cost effective, non-destructive, low energy demanding and ecofriendly than GGBS to the selected expansive soil.
