Abstract
This research describes the results of a scientific examination focusing whether effluent thermal power plant can absorbed by semi contaminated soil and can affect the geotechnical properties of natural contaminated soils. Undisturbed soil samples used for this experimental study are treated with thermal power plant effluent and discussed its effect on the engineering properties after a maturing period of 7 days, 50 days, 100 days and 150 days. The results shown more changed in geo-environmental properties for testing soil with the soaking period. Knowledge of the effect of chemicals on the geotechnical properties of contaminated soil is essential to reduce the problems that geotechnical engineers faces while placing new structures on sites with contaminated soils. This will facilitate the invention and introduction of site specific technologies.
