Abstract: |

As the use of cement for stabilization of soil is done during early age but the production of cement cause various environmental effect causing green house and to reduce this and to use the product which is waste or can improve the soil properties and of low cost as compare cement so that in this study glass powder is used to enhance the properties of soil. As the decomposition of glass is very difficult as it is non-biodegradable which can be reuse in the form of material for sub grade improvement or in building construction the glass powder is tested along with sodium hydro oxide additive to get the better result as the NAOH will give best result when mixed with clay soil but after some increased in quantity will reduce the strength and is not workable as it produce enough heat and make the material not workable because the material changes from cohesive to non-cohesive. Causing reduce in volume with higher bulk density.so that in study the clay is stabilized using glass powder and NAOH. The work is carried out for calculating OMC and MDD for different proportion of glass powder alone and NAOH alone and treating the same with optimum quantity of glass powder with varying percentage of NAOH and the same is treated for strength characteristics by performing UCS test for sample cured for 3days, 7days and 14days. |
