Description
Summary:Utilization of waste materials in the treatment of challenging polluted soils is a cost-effective and environmentally responsible strategy, as it helps to reduce disposal issues created by diverse industrial wastes. The aim of this research is to utilize waste material Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) to enhance several engineering characteristics of polluted soil with crude oil. The engineering characteristics of clean and polluted soils with crude oil were investigated and compared to controls. Three percentages of crude oil 3%, 6%, and 9% were artificially mixed with clayey soils by weight. The effects of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag on the compaction properties (OMC and MDD) and shear strength characteristics (cohesion and angle of friction) of the soil were studied. Different percentages of GGBFS (12%, and 18%) by dry weight were utilized in mixtures of soil samples for different experiments. Ultimately, bases on the experimental results, it is summarized that the use of industrial wastes, i.e. GGBFS are affected in shear strength and compaction properties. Although, they have environment-friendly behavior for the construction project purpose.
