SOIL STABILISATION USING INDUSTRIAL WASTES LIKE BRICK KILN DUST AND FLYASH

Civil Engineering

Presently, disposal of industrial waste products have been a global problem. Their disposal is costly as well as they are harmful to environment. In this project work, Soil stabilization is done with the addition of Fly Ash which is added from 0% to 20% by dry weight of soil. First of all, native soil properties like compaction characteristics, Atterberg’s limits, compressive strength has been checked and then compared after addition of Fly Ash from 0% to 20%. So, as to utilize these soils in an effective way, proper treatment to the soil is required. Stabilization of soil is an effecient method of improving the soil characteristics. With the same goal, an attempt is done to alter the engineering properties with brick kiln dust and flyash in appropriate proportions for clayey soil collected. The different types of tests were conducted to know the stabilization percentage of admixtures for soil. The Results achieved from addition of brick kiln dust in proportions of 10% to 50% shows that the maximum dry density (MDD) increases and optimum moisture content (OMC) decreases when the quantity of admixture is increased. And the bearing capacity of soil increases when BKD – Brick Kiln Dust was added.
