This book explores an innovative approach to soil stabilization by evaluating the effectiveness of lime and rice husk ash (RHA) in various combinations. Soil stabilization is a critical aspect of geotechnical engineering, particularly for enhancing the load-bearing capacity and durability of sub-grade soils used in road construction and other infrastructure projects.
The study provides a comparative analysis of how lime and RHA, both widely available and cost-effective materials, improve soil properties such as strength, compaction, and durability. The book discusses experimental results, optimal mix proportions, and the environmental benefits of using industrial by-products like RHA. By combining traditional stabilizers like lime with sustainable alternatives, the research aims to provide eco-friendly and economically viable solutions for soil improvement.
A valuable resource for civil engineers, researchers, and professionals in geotechnical and transportation engineering, this book contributes to the growing field of sustainable construction practices. It highlights the practical applications and future prospects of using alternative stabilizers to enhance soil performance, making it an essential reference for those interested in soil mechanics, green engineering, and infrastructure development.
