Variation of Swelling Characteristics of Bentonite Clay Mixed with Jarofix and Lime
Expansive soils undergo considerable amounts of volume changes due to moisture content fluctuations, and it causes problems to infrastructures on them. Also, due to industrialization, the production and the accumulation of various wastes have created serious problems of handling and disposal. One of the possible solutions of it is to utilize the waste materials for the improvement of soil. Jarofix is one of such waste material from zinc industries. So, in this study, the utilization of Jarofix to control the expansive nature of clay mixing along with lime has studied. For that, the variation of free swell index, swell potential and swell pressure of bentonite clay was studied by adding different percentages of Jarofix. The variation of the same has studied by adding different percentages of lime also. The results reveal that the Jarofix and lime can be used as an effective agent for reducing the expansive nature of soil.
