A STUDY OF EFFECT ON GRID BAMBUSA VALGARIS ON SILTY SOIL

Civil Engineering

In this paper we are presenting a study of effect on grid bambusa valgaris on silty soil. In India coal/lignite based thermal power plants account for more than 55% of the electricity installed capacity and 65% of electricity generation. The ash content of the coal used at the thermal power plants ranges from 30-40%, with the average ash content around 38%. Since low ash, high grade coal is reserved for metallurgical industries. Fly ash is a very fine material produced by burning of pulverized coal in a thermal power plan. In consequence of the consumers choosing industrialized products, among other effects, activities are suppressed in rural areas or even in small towns, and renewable materials are wasted and causing permanent pollution. In this sense, it becomes obvious that ecological materials satisfy such fundamental requirements, making use of agricultural by-products such as rice husk, coconut fibres, sisal and bamboo and therefore minimizing energy consumption, conserving non-renewable natural resources, reducing pollution and maintaining a healthy environment. The present study is to investigate the suitability of coal ash and bamboo with soil and check the load bearing and settlement behaviour of coal-ash material through CBR characteristics.
