Evaluation of Cloth Bag and Gunny Bag as Potential Reinforcing Materials for Pond Ash
The quantity of pond ash produced by the thermal power plants have improved in the latest years. The unutilized ash prompts an over increasing ponding region for putting away ash and correlated environmental problems for the society surrounding the power plants. Pond ash can possibly be utilized as a fill-up substance in retaining walls, embankment and structural land filling, etc., because it is a non-plastic cohesionless material. But the strength of the consolidated pond ash fills retained moderately by reinforcing it suitably. Reinforcing soil can be considered as one of the standardized techniques for improving the strength parameters of soil. Keeping this in mind along with the cost-effectiveness cloth bags and gunny bag as geotextile reinforcement in this study. The impact of water content, degree of compaction, cloth bag and gunny bag as a reinforcement, etc., on several geotechnical properties are concentrated during the work. The strength parameters of the cloth bag reinforced geotextile are observed from a sequence of tests including proctor test, direct shear test and triaxial shear test. As the number of layers of reinforcement increases, there was an evident increase in the deviator stress of specimen. Even for the same confining pressure increase in the number of cloth bags and gunny bag geotextile reinforcing layer increases the deviator stress of specimen. Increase in the spacing between the layers of cloth bags reinforcement layers cause reduction in the deviator stress and shear strength parameters.
