Conference Article: Effect of Micro Ceramic Dust on the Plasticity and Swell Index of Lime Stabilized Expansive Soil

Hello!!!

I have another conference article for your benefit! Here is a conference article from the National conference on Recent Advances in Science, Engineering and Management, NC'RASEM 2015 held at Tagore Engineering College on the 20th of March 2015.

The article discusses about the effect of micro level particles of powdered ceramic dust obtained from construction debris on the plasticity and swell characteristics of a lime stabilized expansive soil.

Abstract:

The effect of addition of Micro Ceramic Dust (MCD) on the Plasticity and Swell Index of Lime stabilized expansive soil has been discussed in this paper. Lime stabilization is the most commonly used technique for improving expansive soils. Initial Consumption of Lime (ICL) was determined using Eades and Grim pH test. Two lime contents, one below and one above this lime content were adopted for stabilizing the soil. MCD was used as an admixture to lime stabilization of soil in varying quantities following which the soil was tested for its Atterberg limits and free swell index. The results indicated that addition of MCD to lime stabilization better improved the plasticity and swell characteristics.
