Strength Properties of Laterite Soil Stabilized with Rice Husk Ash and Lime as Road Material
Two common waste by-products in Thailand, rice husk ash (RHA) and coir fiber (CF), were used alongside lime (L) to stabilize laterite soil and create a sustainable subbase material for pavements. The mechanical properties of the laterite soil mixed with RHA, lime, and CF were evaluated through compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. The dry soil mass was replaced with 10% and 20% RHA, and CF was added at 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Additionally, based on the initial consumption of lime (ICL) test, 8% lime was incorporated into the mixture. The samples were cured for 7 days (short-term) and 56 days (long-term) before undergoing various tests. In terms of compaction, results showed that increasing the content of RHA, CF, and lime led to a decrease in maximum dry unit weight and an increase in optimum moisture content. The 10RHA8L and 20RHA8L mix designs demonstrated the highest UCS and CBR values after 56 and 7 days of curing, respectively. EDX analysis revealed the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S–H) and calcium aluminate hydrate (C-A-H) gels on the particle surfaces, leading to a denser and more cohesive structure. Based on these findings, the mixture containing 20% RHA and 8% lime exhibited the most favorable properties for use as a subbase material in road and embankment construction.
