A Research on Groundnut Shell Ash's Impact on Lateritic Soils' Soil Stabilization

This study aims to provide information on the engineering characteristics of laterite soil, which is frequently used as a building material in civil projects. The significance subsoil investigations has grown significantly light recent trend construction collapses. In non-industrial nations like Nigeria, minimal residual soil long been problem for infrastructure, including buildings, culverts, dams, and highways. Also, there lot global research into using lateritic reasons due rising costs conventional stabilizing agents need utilize industrial agricultural waste cost- effective ways applications. As implied by project's topic, this accomplished through comprehensive field inquiry intensive laboratory testing (the effect groundnut shell ash properties). index property test categorized A-2-4 subgroup accordance with AASHTO standard. result, substance deemed unfit use foundation or sub-base paving roads. Tests soil's geotechnical after adding show significant changes parameters. tests performed adhered BS 1377:1975 standards. An analysis data shows that GSA can be binding agent absence cement, even if it does not have same strength cement. 4% G.S.A. was also discovered optimal content concentration. All analyses are shown chapters three four.
