Strength Properties of Stabilized Adobe
Stabilized adobe is the building material made from the soil with adequate moisture content to meet the density and compressive strength criteria. The clay content of earth matters much in the cohesion and adhesion properties of blocks. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation in characterizing the properties of soil stabilized adobe, adopting the pugging method. Different stabilizers, viz., cement and lime in different percentages of clay content are added to the soil. The strength properties like density, compressive strength, water absorption, and initial rate of absorption (IRA) are discussed. The influence of the different percentages of clay content and different types of stabilizers on the strength properties of blocks are examined. From the study, it is observed that as the water increases density decreases. Amongst the stabilizers cement shows higher density and compressive strength compared to lime and a combination of cement and lime. Soil containing 10% clay shows higher compressive strength than soil with 15% clay. Water absorption is higher in the soil with lime alone as stabilizers than in the soil with cement alone and a combination of cement and lime as stabilizers. IRA value of soil stabilized with lime as a stabilizer is less compared to the stabilizers, cement and combination of cement and lime.
