Imparting Engineering Properties in Dune Sand by Modifying it using Epoxy Resin, Stone Dust Waste and Lime Fly Ash

Since a few decades ago, soil has been a key component in many civil engineering projects, including the construction of embankment dams, roads, and building structures. It would be cost effective to employ the soil that is readily available nearby for construction. Its possible that the soil being utilized wont always have the characteristics needed for the intended usage. As a result, the soils qualities, like strength and durability, are enhanced in some way to meet the needs. The practice of altering the qualities of soil to meet certain engineering requirements is known as soil stabilization. This in length research was carried out mainly To stabilize the dune sand, the following combinations employing various additives were developed using varied percentages of Epoxy Resin, namely 2.5 , 3.5 , 4.5 , 5 , 6 , and 7 by mixing 5 Stone Dust Waste and 10 Stone Dust Waste and 10 , 15 , and 20 of a 1 4, 1 5and 1 6 mixture of lime and fly ash with dune sand. It has been discovered that mixtures comprising 10 and 15 of 1 Lime 5 Fly Ash produce superior strength values for all curing durations. Additional Fly Ash content increases do not result in higher strength values for various curing times. This could be because the quantities utilised in the mixtures above are sufficient to finish the pozzolanic action of the fly ash, and additional addition would not be effective for increasing the strength levels. Mix compositions of 5 epoxy resin and 5 and 10 stone dust waste respectively gain roughly 70 of their 28 day strength in just 3 days, indicating their potential for emergent constructions. So, this study is to make out something useful out of Dune Sand a civil engineering nightmare. The purpose of this study is to find a useful use for industrial trash that would otherwise be useless and take up a lot of space. The land could be used for other construction projects. The cost of the proposed structure would undoubtedly be reduced by using industrial wastes. There are many additional waste materials, and future research may look into their potential for effective utilisation Dishabal Singh Grover | Mr. Shashi Sharma "Imparting Engineering Properties in Dune Sand by Modifying it using Epoxy Resin, Stone Dust Waste and Lime Fly Ash" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-6 , October 2022, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd52060.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/engineering/civil-engineering/52060/imparting-engineering-properties-in-dune-sand-by-modifying-it-using-epoxy-resin-stone-dust-waste-and-lime-fly-ash/dishabal-singh-grover
