Effect of Curing on Strength of Clayey Soil Stabilized with Marble Dust
Marble is a versatile material used to enhance the artistic value of structures, sculptures, and monuments. Utilization of marble is not only restricted to traditional applications like internal and external walls and claddings, flooring work, but also includes non-traditional applications such as paint and agricultural lime. In India, Rajasthan accounts for 89% of the marble production of the country. There are almost 4000 marble mines in state of Rajasthan. During the mining and finishing operations, a substantial amount of marble waste is generated in order to obtain a well-finished product. In existing study, effort is made to assess the usefulness of marble dust for stabilization of clayey soil. Parameters like compaction characteristics, strength characteristics are assessed through experimental work. Laboratory investigations were carried out to assess the effect of curing period on strength of different combination of mixes. Test results indicates that the strength of composite mix increases with increase in proportion of marble dust and also, with the curing period.
