Abstract

Improvement in characteristics of expansive soil by using different materials has been a challenging job for engineers. The present study, which aim to establish basic standards for the use of Lime and Rice husk ash in the stabilization of expansive soils. This study presents an experimental study in the stabilization of an expansive soil, improvement of its properties by the addition of Lime and Rice husk ash. The test result reveals that the optimum content of admixture for achieving maximum strength is approximately 4% lime mixed with 10% Rice husk ash by mass of the soil.Based on the results, it can be concluded that the expansive soil can be successfully stabilized by lime and Rice husk ash.
