Abstract

Soil stabilization is important to reduce the problems occur in soft soil, not to attain engineering properties but also consider its effects on environment. Soil stabilization is becoming most important now a day to reduce fatal effects. In my research soil has been taken from Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, after digging 2-3 meters. The prime purpose of soil stabilization is to build strength than that of original material. In my thesis sugarcane bagasse ash, cement and plastic fibers mixed with clay soil to check the strength of soil. First of all sieve analysis was done, after that we conducted a series of tests to obtain Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Specific Gravity. Then, the soil will be investigated by conducting Standard Proctor Test (S.P.T.) for Maximum Dry Density (M.D.D.), the values of optimum dry density and their corresponding Optimum Moisture Content (O.M.C.) were continuously studied and a graph was prepared between them. After conducting Standard Proctor Test (S.P.T.), California Bearing Ratio Test (C.B.R.) was performed to know about the variation of the strength with different percentages of bagasse ash and plastic fibres and then a graph was plotted. All the tests which are mentioned above are performed according to Indian Standards
