Stabilization of Clayey Soil by using Quarry Dust Particles

The Stabilization of soil is important in construction of foundations and highways as it improves the Engineering properties of soil like Compressibility, Permeability and Shear Strength. In this paper the experimental results obtained in the laboratory on expansive soil treated with low cost material quarry dust are presented. A study is carried out to check the improvements in the properties of expansive soil with addition of quarry dust in different percentages. The test results for as Atterberg's limit, compaction characteristics, differential Free Swelling Index, Unconfined Compressive Strength obtained from the tests on expansive clays mixed with different proportions of quarry dust as an admixture are presented and discussed in this paper. It is observed that the stabilized clay has reduced the Swelling and increased the maximum dry density. In present study, the soil samples prepared with addition of ceramic waste by 5 , 10 ,15 ,20 and 25 Quarry Dust 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.
