Study of Consolidation Behaviour of Industrial Waste Contaminated Soil
Keywords:
Soil Contamination, Maximum Dry Density (MDD), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), Permeability, ConsolidationAbstract
Soil contamination is a fundamental issue which must be considered during all construction operations. There were many failures of projects which had been occurred due to ignorance of effect of soil contaminations. In order to find out the effect of industrial waste on engineering property and associated health risk various tests are to be performed like-OMC, MDD Test, Particle size distribution analysis , Consistency limits, Permeability of soil, Consolidation. In order to know the effect of these contaminant on soil properties above mentioned test are performed on virgin soil and after that on contaminated soil having different proportion of contaminations. These tests are performed on the basis of test laid down by Indian Standards.
