STRENGTHENING OF CONTAMINATED SOIL AT TADEPALLI REGION BY USING CEMENT AS STABILIZING AGENT

Contamination of soil occurs due to presence of heavy toxic metal and combination of oil, petroleum, Greece where the automobile repair works done, so that the soil is weak in strength. There are many additives are there to strengthen the soil like lime, cement, fly ash, GGBS etc. Because of having more binding capacity cement is selected as a stabilizing agent moreover the area which is selected in CRDA region in A.P. In future this region may have more population than past and the soil which is present over there may contaminated due to high pollution, increasing in industries. The main aim is to strengthen the contaminated soil wherever present and this results will help as future reference. The laboratory tests which conducted are Particle Size Distribution, Free Swell Index, Specific gravity, Standard Proctor Test, Atterberg limits, and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCC). Liquid limit of contaminated soil is 52, Plastic limit of contaminated soil is 14, Plasticity index of contaminated soil is 38, Specific gravity of contaminated soil is 2.64.
