Without proper treatment, clayey soils are undesirable for construction because they frequently show low strength, significant plasticity, and poor load-bearing ability. The goal of this project is to employ waste materials, specifically eggshell powder and ceramic waste powder to improve the engineering qualities of clayey soil. The application of these materials encourages sustainable waste management in addition to improving soil performance. In this study, different proportions of ceramic waste powder and eggshell powder were added to soil samples. The results indicate that the addition of eggshell powder, rich in calcium content, contributes to improved bonding and strength through chemical reactions, while ceramic waste powder enhances particle interlocking and reduces plasticity. An optimum mix proportion was identified where maximum strength and stability were achieved with reduced permeability. Overall, the study concludes that eggshell powder and ceramic waste powder can be effectively utilized as eco-friendly stabilizing agents for clayey soils, offering both technical and environmental benefits. The index and engineering properties were carried out to access the behavior of soil with the addition of eggshell powder. The soil's plasticity index can be regulated by the ESP. The optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) values were obtained using the conventional proctor test. For the ideal dosages of ESP and CWP, the UCS and CBR test was carried out. The inclusion of ESP and CWP significantly raised the strength value. Clayey soil was treated with ESP in four different percentage amounts (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) as part of an experimental inquiry. Following that the CWP was mixed with the soil and 15% ESP mixed soil at rates of 5%, 15%, 25%, and 35%. The effects of CWP and ESP on Atterberg limits, C.B.R., U.C.S., O.M.C., and M.D.D. were investigated.
KEYWORDS
On the basis of experimentation, the following conclusions have been drawn: · When percentage ESP increases in soil there is increase in MDD and increase in OMC for some values. · With the increase in quantity of CWP the value of O.M.C. And MDD increases. · Based on the test results achieved from UCS after the curing periods of 7, 14 and 28 days, the optimum mixing stabilizing agent for clay soil is 15% of ESP and at 25% of CWP. · Based on the unconfined compression test it is found that the combination of these two additives gives best compressive characteristics in the proportion of 25% CWP and 15% ESP. The maximum compressive strength obtained at 7, 14 and 28 days 220kN/m2, 255kN/m2and 270kN/m2 · The best ratio obtained was 60% soil: 15% ESP: 25CWP. · For virgin soil, the unsoaked CBR value rises from 10.75% to 30.40% for the ideal mix ratio, while the soaked CBR value rises from 10.40% to 28.60% for the ideal mix ratio.
