the use of recycled bassanite, produced from gypsum wastes, in ground improvement projects is initiated recently in japan to eliminate the huge quantities of gypsum wastes. meanwhile the use of recycled bassanite has a positive effect on the environment and economy, it has many challenges. these challenges are related to the release of fluorine more than the standard limits results in contamina...

Clay soils are that have high shrinkage potential and good carrying capacity in water unsaturated conditions but poor water-saturated conditions. soil has a low capacity, so to increase the of it needs be stabilized by using an added material which is sand. Land used for 100% disturbed soil, 95% + 5% sand, 90% 10% 85% 15% with curing time 3,7,14, 28 days. The mixture was tested aunconfined comp...

This paper explains the procedure and results of an experiment on the relationship between the unconfined compressive strength and percent weight loss due to freeze and thaw durability test of laboratory compacted soil-cement specimens. The tests were carried out on soil cement mixtures of 10 different soil types. It was shown that the percent weight loss due to freeze and thaw durability test ...

Fly ash is a waste produced mostly from the burning of coal in thermal power stations, which contributes to environmental pollution. Also, a number of studies have been conducted to investigate the influence of randomly oriented fibers on the engineering behavior of coarse grained and fine grained soils. The influence of randomly oriented polypropylene fibers on the engineering behavior of soil...

In developing country like India due to the remarkable development in road infrastructure, Soil stabilization has become the major issue in construction activity. Stabilization is an unavoidable for the purpose of highway and runway construction, stabilization denotes improvement in both strength and durability which are related to performance. Stabilization is a method of processing available ...

Adding fiber into soil-cement can improve its compressive and tensile strength. In engineering application, meet the requirements of mechanical properties economic cost by adding a certain proportion fiber, which has great significance for ensuring quality, reducing increasing efficiency. order to reflect strength characteristics mixed with performance constrained lateral deformation, unconfine...
