Скачать или смотреть Stabilization of Lateritic Soil by using Alkazyme

Soil stabilization is the process of increasing the strength and durability of soil by altering the physical properties of the soil. It is necessary for the soil stabilization process to be cost efficient, eco-friendly and yield optimum results. For any construction project it is highly recommended to improve the strength of soil in order to increase the life of structure. After soil stabilization California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is largely affected and can increase up to 4-6 times. In Konkan belt we are facing lots of problem in soil. Most of the area in Konkan do not have access to all weather roads and hence have a tough time during the monsoon. The Lateritic soil covers impressively vast zone of Konkan belt. This soil is formed by sedimentation action of parent rock. This type of soil is good for drainage purpose, but if we think about water retention capacity of this soil then we will get poor results. Road construction on soils with poor engineering properties necessitates adoption of Stabilization techniques. This project work investigates the effects of treating the soil having poor geotechnical properties with alkazyme to determine its suitability for use as road pavement layer material. The various techniques in which soil stabilization can be done like use of biopolymers, synthetic polymers, tree resins, fibre reinforcement, calcium chloride etc. Our project is aimed at determining the strength behaviour of Lateritic soil with alkazyme in percentage wise manner. In this project Lateritic soil with varying index properties have been tested and also the CBR test was performed for stabilization process under soaked and unsoaked condition by taking different dosages of alkazyme. The results indicated that the Safe Bearing Capacity of Lateritic soil can be increased by the optimum content of alkazyme.
