Abstract

The product materials which are generated from industrial manufacturing are used to enhance the engineering and chemical properties of soil. There are three phases of soil improvement are improvement without the addition of any other material, adding certain materials, and providing reinforcement. This study used materials product from industrial and waste materials as additives to improve the physical properties and strength of clayey soil subgrade under foundation and flexible pavement structure. This study has been investigated the effect of isolated and combined Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) and Palm Kernel Ash (PKA) materials on strength of clayey soil as tested by California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. Various percentages of CKD and PKA materials were added to clayey soil samples to determine the optimum percent of CKD and PKA. The results showed that CKD and PKA have improved soil strength at the optimum compound percent of CKD content was 8% and PKA was 2% by weight of dry soil.
