Compare the Peat Soil Stabilization Using Gypsum and Quick Lime With Fly Ash
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
These paper demonstrate the comparative study on peat soil stabilization with different stabilizing agents. Peat soil are highly organic content and well kown for high compressibility, natural wetness content, dumpy shear strength and long term settlement. In this study, the peat soil is collected and to evaluate their index or physical and geotechnical properties. Some combination of gypsum and quick lime with fly ash is added for stabilizers. The amount of fly ash with gypsum and fly ash with quick lime were added to the peat soil sample, as a percentage of dry sample mass, were in the range 5 to 30℅ and 2 to 8℅, respectively for a curing period of 7,14 and 28 days. The Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test was carried out on stabilized soil samples with above mentioned percentages and compare the results of stabilizing agents shows the UCS value increases significantly with increasing all stabilization agents used and also with increasing curing periods..
