Description
Summary:Soil is the significant material covered on the earth’s surface; it has a lot of well-being for society, and especially for the construction industry, soil plays a vital role and supports the structures so they can perform their functions properly. The main drawback in the soil is that the property and the strength will not remain constant in all directions; the index and various properties will change from place to place, so the strength is not a uniform pattern all through. In this research, the Atterberg limits for the soil are enhanced by adding green ashes like fly ash, GGBFS, RHA, and silica fume to study their properties. The cementitious by-products from various industries are considered waste and incorporated into the soil to study their Atterberg limits. In experimental work, like liquid limits and plastic limits, various proportions of pozzolonic green ashes are used to increase their index properties. The FA is better resistance of the liquid limit than other pozzolonic compounds, it is found to be 36% of wL is obtained for 45% of FA added to the soil, hence the FA is the better shear stress resistance property.
