Usage of Fly Ash and Granite Dust for Soil Stabilization
Ismail Zorluer, Süleyman Gücek
Abstract
Industrial wastes materials are serious problem for environmental pollution. Furthermore these wastes are composed in large quantities. This also makes it difficult to store wastes. In recent years lots of researches have been done to solve these problems. According to these researches, they have suggested that usage of waste materials in many areas as a material or additive material. One of the areas is soil stabilization. Soil properties are improved with this additive wastes. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted on granular soil specimens amended with fly ash and granite. The specimens were prepared with granular soil and fly ash-granite at different ratios. They were compacted standard Proctor compaction energy and, than were cured 1, 7, 28 and 58 days. After cure unconfined compressive tests were conducted to investigate the effect of fly ash-granite dust on granular soil strength. Moreover California bearing ratio test were performed to specimens with additive materials. Addition of fly ash-granite dust increased soil strength. As a result, fly ash-granite dust can be used with granular soil for increasing strength.
