An Experimental Study on Stabilization of Clayey Soils by using Ceramic Waste Materials

The environment is being polluted by humans and in doing so, not only air and water but land is also being contaminated. The major contaminant present in the soil is montomornollite mineral it is the main responsible for swelling and shrinkage parameters in the clayey soils. These contaminations largely affect the geotechnical properties of soil, especially physical and chemical. Taking into consideration the structural safety of structures of such location it is necessary to consider the change in the geotechnical properties due to such contaminations In present study, the soil samples prepared with addition of ceramic waste by 5 , 10 ,15 ,20 and 25 has been used at first, in this paper the changes in the geotechnical properties like plastic limit, liquid limit, specific gravity, Optimum Moisture Content OMC was determined through proctor test. At those OMC, several tests like CBR, UCS, Consolidations tests were conducted. CBR test was carried in both un soaked and soaked conditions variation of ceramic waste has been used to modify their engineering properties and index properties of a black cotton soil.
