Abstract

Expansive soils are highly susceptible to volumetric changes due to moisture fluctuations, which can significantly affect the stability and durability of structures. Therefore, their presence must be carefully considered during the planning and foundation design stages. Survey, field investigations, and lab tests show that soil up to 8 m deep has a plasticity index of 30%–65%. Swelling tests on samples from 1 m–3.5 m depths revealed swelling percentages of 0.545%–0.715% and pressures of 11.7 kPa–12.5 kPa, which are high for near-surface soil. XRD tests identified montmorillonite minerals, known for high activity and shrinkage, contributing to slope cracks and movement. Geotechnical analysis using finite element method shows that slope stability safety factors of 0.84 (static) and 0.62 (earthquake), below required thresholds of 1.5 and 1.1, respectively. The proposed reinforcement includes double-row soldier piles, connected by a capping beam. The slope surface will be graded downstream and reinforced with 1 m thick stone masonry. These measures are expected to increase safety factors to 1.72 (static) and 1.1 (earthquake), meeting safety standards.

Abstract

Soil stabilization plays a crucial role in enhancing the bearing capacity of soils to support structural loads, particularly in road construction projects involving soft soils with inherently low strength. This study investigates the feasibility of using bottom ash, a coal industry waste, as a soil stabilizing agent. Utilizing bottom ash not only aims to improve soil mechanical properties but also addresses environmental concerns associated with coal waste disposal. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the index properties (specific gravity, Atterberg limits, and grain size distribution) and engineering properties (compaction characteristics, swelling behavior, and unconfined compressive strength) of soil treated with varying proportions of bottom ash. The results demonstrate that the addition of bottom ash significantly enhances the soil’s bearing capacity and reduces swelling potential, indicating its suitability for application as a subgrade layer in pavement construction. The addition of 13% lime combined with varying percentages of bottom ash significantly improved the soil’s properties, with CBR values increasing to between 11% and 15%, compared to the untreated soil. This study highlights the potential of bottom ash as an effective and sustainable soil stabilizer, contributing to both infrastructure development and industrial waste management.
