Tenayan Raya Subdistrict is an area that has a thickness of soft clay layer. Some cases of building failure were cracks and tilts due to high shrinkage of soil. Nearby is also a brick home industry center, where ashes are produced from bricks burning. Soil Improvement of Tenayan-Raya's Clay and utilization of brick ash will be carried out in this research. This study aims to stabilize the soil with lime and utilize the brick ash to improve shear strength and bearing capacity of the soil. The study was conducted in the laboratory by making several combinations of content clay, lime, and Brick Ash (BA), for the soil mixture which will be added with 10% ash brick. The effect of curing and soaked will also be seen for its rising on soil properties of Unconfined Compression Strength, and CBR laboratories. The influence of water will also be reviewed on the dry side, optimal moisture content, and wet side. The test results show that the Soil has Low Plasticity soil type category CL-ML symbols, according to the Unified classification. Increasing of strength due to stabilization with lime is obtained in conditions of water in optimal moisture content, where the addition of lime is 10% and 10% brick ash, was produced to increase the maximum value of Unconfined Compression Strength and CBR laboratory value. Curing setup time and saturation (soaked) also had affect the value of Unconfined Compressive Strength and CBR laboratory test. At longer time for curing, shear strength will rise proved by the value of UCS Test andbearing capacity value also increase that can be seen of the laboratory CBR test. Curing will make the shrinkage of clay reduced, this can be proven from differences value of Unconfined Compressive strength test between samples with and without soaked, are relatively small.

Unconfined Compression

Soil stabilization has been widely used as an alternative to substitute the lack of suitable material on site. The use of nontraditional chemical stabilizers in soil improvement is growing daily. In this study a laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of waterborne polymer on unconfined compression strength and to study the effect of cement grout on pre-venting of liquefiable sandy soils. The laboratory tests were performed including grain size of sandy soil, unit weight, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and unconfined compressive strength test. The sand and various amounts of polymer (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) and cement (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) were mixed with all of them into dough using mechanical kneader in laboratory conditions. Grouting experiment is performed with a cylindrical mould of  mm. The samples were subjected to unconfined compression tests to determine their strength after 7 and 14 days of curing. The results of the tests indicated that the waterborne polymer significantly improved the unconfined compression strength of sandy soils which have susceptibility of liquefaction.

The Relationship

TerraZyme as an enzymatic soil stabilizer was used in this research. The stabilized soil was mixed with TerraZyme in proper proportion to determine the relationship of unconfined compression strength and microstructure caused by the introduction of TerraZyme. The experimental results show that the unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil with TerraZyme added is higher than that without TerraZyme. The micrographs of scanning election microscopy (SEM) indicate that the microstructure of the stabilized soil sample with TerraZyme added is denser than that without TerraZyme. This is because the particles of stabilized soil sample treated with TerraZyme are more coarse and blocky than those untreated with TerraZyme. The stabilized soil is with fewer pores than that without TerraZyme. This kind of compact microstructure should be the basis of higher unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil with TerraZyme added.

Different cement types were used to stabilize coastal soft soil. The unconfined compression strength of each cement type treated soil was tested at different curing time. The results showed that the higher strength degree cement lead to the higher unconfined compression strength with same cement addition after curing 90 days. An empirical correlation between unconfined compressive strength and curing time was presented to forecast the unconfined compression strength of cement-soil. Additionally, the 14 day and the data of unconfined compressive strength at that time were suggested to use as the basic standard time and standard strength data respectively.

Recently, biopolymers have emerged in soil stabilisation. The efficiency of biopolymers in groundimprovement is mainly dependent on biopolymer types, soil types, biopolymer contents, curing periods,thermal treatment and mixing methods. However, the effect of the initial moisture content during samplepreparation stages, on the mechanical behaviours of biopolymer-treated soils, has not been fullyunderstood. The first part of this study probed the role of initial moisture content, in treating Shanghaiclay with the xanthan gum by performing standard proctor compaction tests, Atterberg limit tests,unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests and microstructural analysis, while the second part contributedto capture the fatigue behaviours of the samples treated with an ideal moisture content by performingconstant-amplitude and stepping-amplitude fatigue loading tests. Our results showed that theimprovement appeared to occur from an average optimum moisture content for the treated soils (treatedoptimum), which was 3% wet of the untreated optimum. As the initial moisture content increased, theUCS values were elevated. However, there existed an ideal initial moisture content leading to the maximumstrengthening efficiency. For xanthan gum content (i.e., the mass of xanthan gum with respect tothe mass of dry soil) ranging from 1.0% to 5.0%, this ideal value was between 1.1 and 1.2 times the treatedoptimum. Our results also indicated that xanthan gum, as a biopolymer soil strengthener, was efficient inincreasing either fatigue life or bearing capacity, under repeated loading for xanthan gum-soil matrices,when compared to untreated soils. While the untreated soils failed at the stress level of only half the UCS,the xanthan gum-treated soils with a 3.0% xanthan gum content sustained at the end of the tests. Thesedata imply the potential use of xanthan gum in soil stabilisation, under repeated loads.

Curing Pressure

The soil-cement columns are generally installed and cured in the soft clay layers under confining pressure. The strength of the soil-cement columns may be influenced by confining pressure during curing period. In this study, the main objective was to study the influence of curing pressure on unconfined compressive strength of cemented clay. A series of unconfined compression tests was performed on a cement admixed clay sample cured under pressure values of 0 kPa (atmospheric pressure), 25kPa, 50kPa and 100 kPa using a typical unconfined compression equipment. The test samples with values of cement content of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 percent were cured for 28 days.The stress-strain curves obtained from all tests show a peak value of stress. The unconfined compressive strength or peak stress obviously increased with increasing cement content for all curing pressure conditions. It can be observed that the strength of samples gradually increased with curing pressure for cement content of 0.5 percent. For cement contents of 1.0 and 2.0 percent, the strengths of samples cured under pressures of 25 kPa dramatically increased from the strength of samples cured without pressure (0 kPa), however, the strengths of samples for curing pressures of 25, 50 and 100 kPa were not clearly different.

Soil stabilisation, as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method, is used in the building of systems like roads, dams, canals and river levels. Chemical stabilisation of soil is carried out by adding binder or by-products like lime and silica fume to the soil thereby modifying the geotechnical performance of the soil. Various researchers have carried out research on the properties of soil, such as its compaction, compressibility, hydraulic conductivity, and strength characteristics. The focus of the study was the determination of the physical properties of the soft clay used and the strength of soft clay (kaolin) mixed with 6 % of silica fume and various percentages (3 %, 5 %, 7 % and 9 %) of lime. Unconfined compression test was carried out on the soft clay and the mixtures of soft clay-lime-silica fume to investigate the effect of lime stabilisation with silica fume additives on the unconfined compressive strength of the mixtures. Based on the results obtained, all soil samples were indicated as soils with medium plasticity. From 0 % to 9 % of lime with 6 % of silica fume, the decreased in the maximum dry density was by 5.92 % and the increased in the optimum moisture content was by 23.5 %. Decreased in the coefficient of permeability of the mixtures occurred when compared to the coefficient of permeability of the soft clay itself. The improvement in shear strength of soft clay mixed with 6 % silica fume and 5 % lime was 29.83 % compared to the shear strength of the soft clay sample. The optimal percentage of lime-silica fume combination was attained at 5.0 % of lime and 6.0 % of silica fume in order to improve the shear strength of soft clay. It can be concluded that lime-silica fume additives improved the unconfined compressive strength of the soft clay.

Abstract Expansive clay soils are high shrinkage soils that have low bearing capacity. So an effort is needed to reduce the nature of its swelling. One effort that can be done is the method of soil stabilization, where the soil is mixed with materials that can reduce soil swelling and increase the shear strength of the soil. One of the materials that can be used is kaolin powder. Kaolin is a stabilizing agent found in nature so it is easy to obtain. The purpose of this research is to analyse the decrease of expansive soil swelling and the value of its unconfined compression strength at various soaking times. The test was carried out by mixing 9% kaolin powder against dry soil weight. The stabilized soils were then compacted as samples to be soaked with time variations of 0 days, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 14 days. The results of the test after soaking 14 days is a decrease of the stabilized soil swelling value up to 67.78%. The unconfined compression strength is increase up to 77.28% compared to its natural condition.
