Possible Utilization of Expansive Soil Incorporated with Bagasse Ash and Bagasse Fibre
In today’s world, the major geographical areas of India are covered with expansive soil that possess poor strength which cause undue settlements. The soil used in construction has to sustain adverse climatic conditions and different loads. To enhance the engineering parameters of sub grade soil one effective technique is soil stabilisation. In this paper, agricultural wastes like bagasse ash and bagasse fibre are used at varying percentages, like 2% to 8% and 0.5% to 2% respectively are used to treat. To evaluate the properties, laboratory tests like Atterberg limits, compaction properties, unconfined compression, and Soaked California bearing ratio test have been performed on untreated and treated samples. In addition to that micro structural study was conducted using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction to examine the structure growth of untreated and treated soil. The results indicate that an improvement in maximum dry, California bearing ratio and compressive strength of up to 1.16, 4.55 and 2.55 times are observed with 2 + 0.5% bagasse ash and fibre.
