Abstract:
In India, silty soil are available in many states and have poor supporting capacity. Main objective of this research is to utilize the industrial waste like fly-ash to improve the engineering characteristics of the silty soil. Soil samples blended with the fly-ash from 0% to 50% of dry weight of the soil. Samples were prepared and results showed a significant increase in soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value. Liquid limit decreased from 30.66% to 23.31% and plasticity index decreased from 10.21% to 6.29%. DFS of silty soil reduced from (31%) to (5%). From the compaction tests result decreased in maximum dry density (MDD) from 1.71 gm/cc to 1.55gm/cc and increased in optimum moisture content (OMC) from 20.4% to 24.31%. In this investigation it can be seen that fly-ash has a potential to improve the engineering characteristics of silty soil.
