Strength behavior of enzymatic cement treated clay
Current research studies are focusing to utilize biodegradable wastes as stabilizing agents in improving the strength of weak soils, to enhance its various properties without hindering the safety of the environment and the ecosystem. A series of laboratory studies were conducted to analyze the effect of enzymatic cement stabilization in soft clay by varying the curing time and dosages of Terrazyme (a type of bio-enzyme) and cement. A possible mechanism behind the strength improvement of enzymatically treated clay is illustrated in this paper. Data obtained from unconfined compressive strength and consistency limit tests showed that the strength of enzymatic clay has greatly improved in the presence of a small quantity of cement (1% by dry weight of soil) and the optimum dosage of enzyme added to the clay. The proposed technique is a reliable remedy underneath the foundations at shallow depths and other alike situations encountered with poor soil conditions.
