The engineering strength properties of expensive soils (clayey soil) such as compaction characteristics and bearing capacity can be improved by stabilization process of the soil. These properties can be improved by controlled compaction using the mechanical equipment’s or by addition of suitable admixtures like cement, fly ash, lime, gypsum or by reinforcing the soil with shredded tyre, crumb rubber, plastic waste etc. But gypsum is used now a days to enhance the geotechnical properties. So, in this research paper gypsum and calcium chloride has been used to improve the various strength properties of natural soil. The objective of this research paper is to examine the strength properties of natural clayey soil reinforced with different percentage of gypsum by the weight of soil and fixed percentage of calcium chloride(Cacl2) as a binding material. A series of Standard Proctor tests(for calculation of MDD and OMC) and California Bearing Ratio (C.B.R) tests are conducted on both raw clayey soil and reinforced soil with different percentages of gypsum (2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) by weight and with fixed percentage of calcium chloride (0.75%). A comparison between properties of raw clayey soil, raw clayey soil mixed with gypsum and raw clayey soil mixed with gypsum and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are performed. It is found that the properties of clayey soil mixed with gypsum and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are suitably enhanced.

The development of population, quick urbanization and more development of structures and buildings has brought about the decrease of good quality land. To improve the accessibility of good quality land, strength and compaction properties of land should be improved. The fundamental goal of this examination is to explore the utilization of fly ash, lime sludge and polypropylene fiber in Geotech highway application and to assess their impact on quality and compaction of soil, utilized for subgrade. The soil samples were gathered from the zones of Chandigarh where clayey soil is present in abundance. The laboratory testing led to decide the strength and compactive effort of the clay soil. This investigation includes three principle tests. The primary test is standard proctor test. The subsequent test is California bearing ratio and the third test is the direct shear test. Proctor test gives the compactive effort of the soil and CBR gives the subgrade strength. The outcomes acquired are thought about for the examples and inferences are drawn towards the unstability and effectiveness of admixture support at different percentages, as replacement for high quality subgrade and cost-effective approach.

The stability of steel-slag road materials remains a critical issue in their utilization as an aggregate base course. In this pursuit, the present study was envisaged to investigate the effects of fly ash on the mechanical properties and expansion behavior of cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag. Strength tests and expansion tests of the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag with varying additions of fly ash were carried out. The results indicate that the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag exhibited good mechanical properties. The expansion rate and the number of bulges of the stabilized material reduced with an increase in the addition. When the addition of fly ash was 30–60%, the stabilized material was not damaged due to expansion. Furthermore, the results of X-CT, XRD and SEM-EDS show that fly ash reacted with the expansive component of the steel slag. In addition, the macro structure of the stabilized material was found to be changed by an increase in the concentration of the fly ash, in order to improve the volumetric stability. Our study shows that the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag exhibits good mechanical properties and volumetric stability with reasonable additions of fly ash.

Abstract Fine aggregates of construction waste and fly ash were selected as additives to modify the characteristics of Shanghai clayey soil as a composite. The laboratory tests on consistency index, maximum dry density, and unconfined compressive strength were carried out mainly for the purpose of comparing the modifying effect on the composite from fine aggregates of construction waste with that from fly ash. It is mainly concluded from test results that the liquid and plastic limit of the composites increase with the content of two additives. But their maximum dry density all decreases with the additive content. However, fine aggregates of construction waste can increase the optimum water content of the composites, while fly ash on the contrary. Finally, although the two additive all can increase the unconfined compressive strength of composites, fly ash has better effect. The current conclusions are also compared with previous studies, which indicates that the current research results are not completely the same as those from other researchers.
