Bagasse ash is a fine residue collected from the burning of bagasse in sugar factory, and it behaves as pozzolanic materials. In addition, engineering behaviour of bagasse ash can be improved by addition of cement containing high calcium. Recently, research about cement stabilized soil is continuously in progress. In this paper, a set of experiment programs were done to investigate the randomly oriented polyester fibre  inclusion in bagasse ash-cement stabilized soil.  Bagasse ash was mixed with clay in different proportions. To get the optimum curing period,  it was done light compaction test of soil with 8% cement cured with 7, 14, 21, 28 and 36 days curing period,  that was found on 28 days. The next experiment was compaction test on soil + 8% cement + 3,6,9 and 12% bagasse ash to obtain optimum bagasse ash proportion. The result indicated that optimum bagasse ash content was 9%. To ensure this result, unconfined compression test was done on the same sample. Finally, light compaction, unconfined compression and direct shear tests were done on : soil + 8% cement + 9% bagasse ash +  polyester fibre with 28 days curing period. The results showed that maximum dry density and optimum moisture content was not influenced by fibre inclusion, whereas the increase of shear strength of stabilized soil with fibre inclusion  was mainly due to improvement of internal friction angle. In unconfined compression test, the unconfined compression strength of stabilized soil was significantly improved by fibre inclusion.

The conventional embankment has disadvantages in terms of its weight; it has an implication for the level of deformation that will occur on the subgrade layer. This study was conducted dealing with the design of geocomposite material compositions based on their mechanic characteristics. The lightweight geocomposit material (LWGM) was constructed by composing soil with expanded polystyrene (EPS) with by-product of buton asphalt as the binder agent (WBA). Unconfined Compression Test (UCT) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) were examined to figure out the mechanical behavior of LWGM. The percentages of WBA used on specimens were 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%, while those of EPS were 0.15% and 0.30%, based on weight of soils dry density. Furthermore, to understand the curing period effect, all the specimens were cured and tested within 7 days and 28 days. The results showed that the LWGM could reduce the embankment densities from 20% to 35%, compared to conventional embankment. The compressive strength and CBR values presented the same tendency, so that, based on correlation of UCS and CBR value, the LWGM compositions that are appropriate for road foundation criteria as subbase courses are 3.2% to 7% for the WBA and 0,15% - 0,30% for the EPS.

The objective of the present study was to understand the effect of calcium chloride on geotechnical properties of black cotton soil. Black cotton soil collected from Siraguppa taluk, Bellary. It was subjected to various concentrations of calcium chloride viz. 0.1 N, 0.5 N, 1.0 N, 2.0 N and 4.0 N. Attempt was made to understand the effect of calcium chloride on index properties and engineering properties of black cotton soil. It was observed that the values of liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index of the soil treated with calcium chloride was decreasing with increase in concentration. Further the treated soil was investigated for compaction test. It was observed that the maximum dry density of the soil was increasing at higher concentrations. However, no remarkable changes were observed in the values of optimum moisture content with increase in concentration of calcium chloride. The laboratory investigation was made to obtain the unconfined compression strength (UCS) of treated soil. The soil was cured for 1 day, 7, 14 and 28 days. It was observed that the values of UCS were increasing with increase in concentration at any curing period. The soil was further tested to obtain the effect of calcium chloride on permeability of treated soil. It was observed that the permeability is increasing with increase in concentrations of 0 N, 0.5 N, and 4.0 N.

Stabilized Soil

A series of experimental programs was undertaken to investigate mechanical behaviour of bagasse ash stabilized organic soil. Preliminary experiment was done to verify the chemical and physical characteristics of bagasse ash and organic soil. The following experiment was then performed to study the improvement of unconfined compression strength of bagasse ash stabilized organic soil. In this research, three different organic soils and four different bagasse ashes were used. The soil was mixed with 10, 20 and 30% bagasse ash, then a set of unconfined compression tests were performed. In general, the results indicate that the unconfined compression strength of stabilized soil improve proportional to the percentage of bagasse ash. And, the quick lime content (CaO), ratio between quick lime and silica (CaO/SiO2), and ratio between quick lime and the sum of silica and alumina {CaO/(SiO2+Al2O3)} were the fundamental factors affecting the improvement of bagasse ash stabilized soil unconfined compression strength. The significant improvement occurs on 0.25 < (CaO/SiO2) < 1.00, and 0.20< (CaO/(SiO2+Al3O3) < 0.67. In contrast, organic content decreased unconfined compression, and maximum dry density (MDD) of stabilized soil. The addition of bagasse to the organic soil, however, does not significantly improve the unconfined compression strength, then addition of 6, 8, and 10% calcium carbide residue (CCR) was performed to the bagasse ash stbilized organic soil to get better engineering performance of stabilized soil. For 9% CCR, qu improve from 93 to 208 kPa.

Marine clay is a problematic construction material, which is often encountered in Malaysian coastal area. Previous researchers showed that lime stabilization effectively enhanced the engineering properties of clay. For soft clay, both strength and consolidation characteristics are equally important to be fully understood for design purpose. This paper presented the effect of lime on compaction, strength and consolidation characteristics of Pontian marine clay. Compaction, unconfined compression, direct shear, Oedometer and falling head permeability tests were conducted on unstabilized and lime stabilized samples at various ages. Specimens were prepared by compaction method based on 95 percent maximum dry density at the wetter side of compaction curve. It was found that lime successfully increased the strength, stiffness and workability of Pontian marine clay; however, the permeability was reduced. Unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil was increased by 49 percent at age of 56 days whereas compressibility and permeability was reduced by 48 and 67 percent, respectively. From laboratory tests, phenomenon of inconsistency in engineering characteristics was observed for lime stabilized samples below age of 28 days. This strongly proved that lime stabilized soil underwent modification phase before stabilization phase which provided the long term improvement.

Peat soils have been known for their problematic characteristics which include high water content, high compressibility and low shear strength. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the effect of 1 week addition of modified Urea-CaCl2liquid medium with and withoutSporosarcina pasteuriion the shear strength of unsterilized dried peat soil using the Unconfined Compression Test. After the treatment period, significant increase in the shear strength of the soil was found to be highest for peat + medium at 42 kN/m2, moderate for peat + medium +Sporosarcina pasteuriiat 27 kN/m2and unchanged for peat + water control at 24 kN/m2. Although the growth dynamics of all the microbes involved in the calcite formation in the treated peat soil were not known, the addition of the modified Urea-CaCl2liquid medium into the soil clearly had contributed to the marked increased in the shear strength of the soil. It is probable that the medium had promoted a better growth of indigenous calcite bacteria population in the soil which may have been suppressed by the slow growingS. pasteuriipopulation being added daily to the soil
