Aim: To improve the fly ash & clayey soil properties by adding the soil stabilizing
agents and enhance the utilisation of fly ash for geotechnical purpose.
introduction
Large quantities of coal are being burnt in thermal power stations to meet
Materials:
1.fly ash
2.lime
3.fiber
Fly ash: Fly ash is finally divided residue resulting from the combustion of
powdered coal and transported by the flue gases and collected by electrostatic
precipitator.
Lime :
Polypropylene fiber:
Fiber used in the present investigation is polypropylene fiber manufactured
Objective:
The necessity for the utilisation of fly ash.
Investigate the engineering properties and characteristics of fly ash.
To identify the engineering properties of clayey soil.
Investigate the strength gain of composite material aspects associated
Scope:
An attempt is made to study how fly ash, fibres, lime may be effectively
Literature Review
Use of the fly ash in road sub bases, airfield footpaths, structural landfills, and
embankments are some of the areas that have at attracted the attention of the
construction industry. Among the various waste materials, fly ash has shown better
results as sub base material (Kumar et al. 2008).
Sivapullaiah et al. (2000) examined the amount of lime required to attain optimum
of soils (These three different types of soil have been considered using different
percentage of fly ash ranging from 9 to 46% by weight of soil) on compaction; shear
strength, CBR value and swelling characteristics to asses the usefulness of fly ash for
modifying the soil structure, to improve the load bearing capacity.
results on the use of coir fibers in reducing the seepage velocity of soils.
Since fibers are distributed throughout a soil mass, they impart strength
isotropy and reduce the possibility of formation of weak zones and
contribute to improved piping resistance.
Kumar et al. (2007) found that unconfined compressive strength of highly
