WASTE SOIL IMPROVEMENT USING EGG SHELL POWDER AND LIME AT OPEN DUMPING AREA

Soil stabilization method using the waste material as replacement to improve the strength has been explored widely. In this research, the egg shell powder and lime are added to the waste soil with the mixing portion of 2.5% lime and 2.5% egg shell powder, 5% lime and 5% egg shell powder and 7.5% lime and 7.5% egg shell powder. The compressive strength is conducted on the waste soil samples with different mixing ratio. The optimum value of the compressive strength is simulated using Monte Carlo simulation. In conclusion, there is potential for the waste soil to be improved in terms of strength using lime and egg shell powder. The compressive strength of waste soil is added with 2.5% lime and 2.5% ESP, 5% lime and 5% ESP, 7.5% lime and 7.5% ESP gave the results of 36.39 kN/mm2 , 70.66 kN/mm2 and 337.13 kN/mm2 respectively at curing of 28 days, which satisfies the soil improvement requirement. The Monte Carlo Simulation and optimization of the result using the mean value show that the compressive strength is increase when the data is simulated into N= 12 to N= 16. It has proved that the accuracy of the result has increased by using Monte Carlo Simulation and optimization.
