Improvement in Geotechnical Properties of Expansive Soil using Different Grain Size of Bagasse Ash, Lime and Quarry Dust

Abstract

The time period soil stabilization method improving the engineering houses of soil by means of synthetic method and increasing the solidity or bearing ability of any sort of soil via the use of managed proportioning, its compaction and the addition of a stabilizing agent. In soil stabilization, one of a kind methods are used to modify and enhance the houses of a soil so that it can be stabilized. The cost of creation of the pavement is considerably decreases if domestically to be had low cost substances are used in the production of sub base, sub grade and so on. The design of pavement is based on the minimum specified structural strength and bearing quality of the soil that will be achieved for each and every layer of material. This study investigated the stabilization of black cotton soil when stabilized by bagasse ash, lime and combination of different grain size of bagasse ash, lime and quarry dust. In this research various laboratory tests like atterberg limits, proctor test and CBR i.e California bearing ratio test is performed.California Bearing Ratio of the soil increases with the increase of Grain size of Bagasse ash.
