  • Abstract:
  • Soil stabilization has emerged as a critical topic in building engineering. The number of studies on the effectiveness of utilizing chemical wastes is steadily growing. Soil stabilization is the process of improving the bodily qualities of soil in order to increase its toughness and durability, and so on by combining or combining with chemicals. Soil stabilization methods include: soil stabilization using coconut coir fibres, soil stabilization with jute fibre, and soil stabilization with fly ash and lime. When the soil stabilization method is used in construction, the overall cost is lowered when compared to the conventional method of construction. The primary goal of this study is to investigate the usage of chemicals that act as stabilizers such as fly ash and lime in geotechnical applications and to analyze the consequences of these chemical elements on the load capacity of unsaturated soil using California soil testing. Bearing ratio studies on soil samples with two distinct chemical stabilizers. The results for these two stabilizers are compared, and conclusions are reached about the usage and efficiency of fly ash and lime as a cost- effective foundation replacement. With this in mind, an experimental investigation on soil samples combined with varied percentages is carried out using fly ash and lime.Soil samples are produced at their maximum dry density, matching to their optimum moisture content, for California Bearing ratio (CBR) and standard proctor test (SPT). The percentages of fly ash and lime by dry weight of soil are 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, and CBR and SPT tests are performed in the laboratory for each stabilizer concentration. The addition of fly ash and lime reduces building costs, resulting in the economy of foundation and roadway construction. In this section of my study, I will explore how chemical stabilizers such as fly ash and lime can boost soil carrying capacity to make it acceptable for any structure at a low cost of stabilization.
