| Abstract: |
Expansive clay is a major source of heave induced
structural distress. Swelling of expansive soils causes serious problems and
produce damages to many structures. Many research organizations are doing
extensive work on waste materials concerning the feasibility and environmental
suitability. Fly ash, a waste by product from coal burning in thermal power
stations is abundant in India
causing severe health, environmental and disposal problems. Attempts are made
to investigate the stabilization process with model test tracks over expansive
subgrade in flexible pavements. Cyclic plate load tests are carried out on the
tracks with chemicals like lime and cement introduced in fly ash subbase laid
on sand and expansive subgrades. Test results show that maximum load carrying
capacity is obtained for stabilized fly ash subbase compared to untreated fly
ash subbase |
