Prediction of Unconfined Compressive Strength of Clayey Soil Stabilized with Steel Slag and Cement
Rapid urbanization has resulted in huge increase in number of infrastructure projects across the country. Availability of suitable material for construction of infrastructure projects is of utmost importance for completing the projects within time and budget. This is putting a lot of pressure on naturally available resources. Demand of steel has also increased enormously due to these global processes. India is producing steel through blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace route as well as electric furnace or induction furnace route. During steel refining process, 2000–4000 kg of steel slag is generated for every tonne of steel produced. Geotechnical properties of the soil can be boosted by addition of steel slag. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is important parameter which is widely used to determine the strength of the subgrade soil. Laboratory investigation using UCS is complex and time-consuming process. Experimental and analytical study aims at developing the equation based on multiple linear regression for evaluating the strength of the soil-slag and soil-slag-cement composite mix. Equations so developed showed better prediction capacity based on coefficient of determination.
