SOIL STABILIZATION OF ALLUVIAL SOIL BY USING MARBLE POWDER

This research aims to study the effect of marble powder on the stabilization of alluvial soils. The term soil soil stabilization means the improvement of stability or bearing power of soil by the use of controlled compaction; proportioning or the addition of suitable admixtures or stabilizers. As soil stabilization the alluvial soil is necessary as long as their volume changes due to variation in water content. Generally it expands throughout the rainy season owing to the addition or intake of water or shrinks in winter. Therefore, it is very important to replace the weak soil accompanied by the stabilized one. Although no. of studies has been accomplished on use of marble dust as a soil stabilization material. But most of them were done by expansive soil. So, by the improvement of alluvial soil i used marble dust which is earlier typically a heavy one on our natural environment. Exploit these wastes for the improvement of alluvial soil will be the leading alternative. The use of marble dust for stabilization approach is an economical and environmental settling the problems affiliated with its disposal process.
