Effects of Brewery Spent Grain Ash on Lime-Stabilized Clayey Soil
Although many commercial stabilizers are available for the treatment of poor soils; agricultural, agro-industrial, and environmentally friendly stabilizers are always encouraged. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the effects of brewery spent grain ash (BSGA) on lime-treated clay for stabilization of an expansive clay to be used as road construction material. Brewery spent grain (BSG) is an agro-industrial solid waste product obtained during the brewing of beer. Through burning in an open cylinder, it is converted to BSGA. The clay was subjected to preliminary tests to classify and identify some required engineering properties of the sample. Initially, samples were thoroughly mixed with lime by weight of clay to determine the optimum amount of lime needed throughout the experiments. Through laboratory execution trials, 10% lime was determined to be the optimal amount. Following, BSGA was added to the treated clay, which was previously treated with 10% lime, at various percentages of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% BSGA by weight of clay. At 0% BSGA, the unsoaked and soaked California bearing ratio (CBR) rose from 13.56 and 8.24% to their greatest values of 14.99% and 9.3%, respectively, at 6% BSGA. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values rose from 112.63 kN/m2 at 0% BSGA to 130.31 kN/m2 at 6% BSGA, which is the highest value. Therefore, it was discovered that BSGA can be a beneficial addition to lime stabilization in clay soil.
