  • Abstract:
  • Expansive soil, often referred to as shrink-swell soil, is a soil type that exhibits remarkable volume changes in response to fluctuations in moisture content. The expansive soil problem is prevalent in many regions worldwide, posing significant challenges to construction and infrastructure development. Mitigating these problems involves proper engineering practices like moisture control, foundation design and soil stabilization. The present study deals with stabilization of Expansive Soil using waste Iron Slag Dust with Slaked lime. The additives i.e., Iron slag dust and slaked lime with native soil in varying percentages to obtain the optimum percentage of additives required for soil stabilization. The samples were prepared by mixing the percentage of iron slag dust and slacked lime with expansive soil as 5%,10%,20% and 30%. The results of the tests on the expansive soil showed that as iron slag dust content increased, internal friction (φ) increased. For the California Bearing Ratio, the results of the tests obtained as improved in the CBR value with increment in iron slag dust.
