Study on the Compaction Characteristics of Soil Mixed with Quarry Dust for Effective Recycling of Waste from Stone Quarries

ABSTRACT Exploring the viability of utilizing the quarry dust waste in construction is investigated in this study through laboratory experiments. Standard Proctor test is conducted for the two groups of soil samples (Group 1 soil without quarry dust, N=17; Group 2 soil with quarry dust, N=17). The r...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Exploring the viability of utilizing the quarry dust waste in construction is investigated in this study through laboratory experiments. Standard Proctor test is conducted for the two groups of soil samples (Group 1 soil without quarry dust, N=17; Group 2 soil with quarry dust, N=17). The results show that the optimum moisture content (OMC) of soil decreases and the maximum dry density (MDD) increases due to the addition of quarry dust with the soil. Also, there is a significant difference between the two groups of soil as the value of p
