  • Abstract:
  • Expensive soils to increase or decrease in volume (compressibility) due to that, shear strength varies under passing moisture content is allowed to change but also measure the ability of a soil media to support the formation of a magnetic field within itself (Permeability). This paper is an experimental study that evaluated the effects of robosand on compressibility, permeability, and shear strength characteristics expansive soil. The initial phase of the experimental program includes the study of the effect of robosand on MDD (Maximum Dry Density) and optimum moisture content (OMC) with different percentages of robosand with Specific gravities. The second phase of the experimental program focuses on the compressibility, permeability, and shear strength characteristics of the soil. In addition to UCS, tests performed to study the effects of robosand on unconfined compressive strength of tested soil. Test results indicated that the addition of robosand increased the permeability and shear strength of the soft soil with increasing robosand with respective percentages. This project ventures to find the feasibility of using robosand as a stabilizer. Different percentages of robosand added to the soil samples collected. The compaction and unconfined compression (UCS) tests are to be conducted, followed by consolidation and permeability tests to determine the soil characteristics of controlling permeability and increasing shear strength.
