Shear Strength and Settlement Analysis of Stabilized Soil with GGBS and Cement
Construction on weak soils is difficult as it has poor bearing capacity and especially black cotton soil has high swelling or shrinking characteristics. Hence there is a need for the improvement in the soil properties, which can be addressed using stabilization of the soil. In this study, two soil types i.e., red soil and black cotton soil were replaced by different percentages of GGBS with small amount of cement. The improvement in shear properties, both in cohesion and friction of the soil was observed with all the combinations from laboratory testing. The settlements were analysed in PLAXIS 2D and was observed that within 7 days the settlement reduces by more than 60% in both the soil types with additives when compared to natural soils.
