Abstract
Dispersive soils are a particular type of soil which is highly susceptible to erosion. Due todeflocculation of particles in the presence of flowing water, dispersive soils contribute to the failure of many conservative practices. The stabilization of dispersive soils is very important for the success of many geotechnical projects all across the world. By utilizing the industrial waste, such as bottom ash and flyash to stabilize the dispersive soil In this study. The effects of the addition of bottom ash and flyash were investigate and are compared with thatof the dispersive soil. the mechanical properties of different mixes of bottom ash and flyash combined as a whole are investigated by using the standard Proctor, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests, scanning electron microscope (SEM), The tests were performed on the mixtures prepared by adding different flyash and bottom ash percentages (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%). From the results, the difference in strength due to stabilisation can be determined. Thus, it can be concluded as the utilization of industrial waste by-products have become an attractive alternative to disposal.
