Abstract

In this paper, the stabilization of clay (C) with
hydraulic lime (L), steel slag (SS), and rice husk
ash (RHA) are being presented. The study has
been done on geotechnical properties, shearing
strength,
swelling
pressure,
and
soil
consolidation characteristics with and without
stabilization. The ideal blend is discovered to be
in extent of 46% C + 30% SS + 10% L + 14%
RHA. The treated soil shows unconfined
compressive strength 640% increases at 3 days
of cured samples. The treated soil shows
improvement in soaked California bearing ratio
(CBR) 590% increases at 3 days of soaked
samples. The results of swelling pressure
indicate 93% decrease in the optimum mix
sample. The capability of stabilizing materials
for subgrade pavement is analyze in this study.
