Mitigating Problematic Expansive Soil by Using POFA, Lime and DRWPI
The black cotton soil is problematic in nature because it exhibits significant swelling and shrinkage behaviour depending upon the moisture content present in the interstices of soil particles. Several researchers have tried different methods to improve the properties of these soils. In the present paper, an experimental study is conducted to observe the properties of the stabilized expansive clay with palm oil fuel ash (POFA), lime and discrete reinforcing waste plastic inclusions (DRWPI). It was observed that the stabilized expansive soil properties are improved to a certain extent and its properties are improved further by the addition of lime and discrete reinforcing waste plastic inclusions (DRWPI).
