“…Cohesive soils’ engineering properties are enhanced by a small amount of CLS mixed with non-plastic materials like granite dust, fiber, etc. by producing a net diminution in the pore volume, helping in the quick generation of ettringite, as well as augmenting the tensile strength (Amulya et al, 2021). CLS neutralizes the negative charges on the dust particle surface; also, it uses covalent and hydrogen bonds to build a polymer chain in order to agglomerate the dust particles (Amulya et al, 2022).…”

This paper analyzes the stabilizing effect of stone dust, granite dust, marble dust, and calcium lignosulphonate on construction materials and natural soils during road construction. The ultimate aim was to enhance the soil’s engineering properties such that the pavement constructed could correctly withstand the load applied. To achieve this, every stabilizer was amalgamated with the soil at various percentages between 5 and 50%. Measurements were made of Atterberg limit tests, moisture content, and specific gravity. The research demonstrated that a diminution in optimal moisture content was seen, with an elevation in maximum dry density and California bearing ratio (CBR). Enhancements in the unconfined compressive strength were also identified. The outcomes determined that the untreated soil’s CBR was 2.27% and in the case of soil with 45% additives, the CBR attained was 5.05%. When the soil was mixed with 50% additives, performance of 30.21%, 17.42%, and 12.82% was exhibited for (a) liquid limit, (b) plastic limit, and (c) plasticity index. Moreover, via the addition of presented stabilizers, the soil’s mechanical properties were elevated appreciably.

People are forced to use all types of soil, especially bad soils, as infrastructure demands grow. Different procedures must be used to ameliorate these poor soils, which are fragile during building. Natural resource depletion and the rising costs of available materials force us to consider alternative supplies. For several years, researchers have investigated the use of by-products from industry and associated approaches to improve the qualities of various soils. Coarse Aggregate Crushing Waste (CACW) is a waste product that results from the primary crushing of aggregates. Massive amounts of CACW are produced in the business, posing serious issues from handling to disposal. As a result, the widespread use of CACW for diverse purposes has been recommended in the civil engineering profession to address these concerns. Because some natural resources, such as gravel, are nonrenewable, it is vital to decrease their consumption and replace them with recycled, cost-effective, and ecologically acceptable alternatives. This research aimed to investigate the possibility of reusing CACW to improve the geotechnical properties of silty sand (SM) soil available in the Najran region. In this research, soil samples were collected from Najran city and subjected to a variety of lab experiments to determine their characterization. Mixes were designed for a parent soil with a range of percentages of CACW with/without 2% cement. The designed mixes were examined through a set of lab tests to obtain the optimum design for use in road construction. The findings of the tests showed that the optimum dosage is 10% CACW with 2% cement, raising the undrained shear strength of silty sand soil by 323%, CBR by 286%, and P-wave by 180%. The durability tests show that soil mixed with 10% CACW and 2% cement fulfills the requirements and stays within the 14% weight loss limit imposed by the Portland Cement Association (PCA). The microscopic investigation results confirmed the outcomes obtained by macro tests. As a result, the carbon footprint values decrease when CAWA is added, making this treatment approach almost carbon neutral. This study clarifies the long-term effects of CACW on improving the geotechnical characteristics of silty sand soil in the Najran Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other comparable soils globally.

“…Granite dust is an industrial byproduct is dumped in prodigious proportions at quarry locations and crusher facilities. The byproduct is non-plastic material exhibits high strength with zero carbon emissions and shows a large specific area [23]. The present study is to identify the application of granite dust, a waste by-product, as an efficient stabilizer for improving the geotechnical properties of problematic soils, including Atterberg's limits, compaction properties, unconfined compressive strength, permeability, and California bearing ratio.…”

A massive amount of granite dust is produced as a byproduct of processing granite rock. Disposing of granite dust is a fatal to human health and is a environmental toxic for land disposal. An attempt was made to use such a material in construction, decrease the disposing problems. Soil, an important material bearing the load of the resisting structure can be available in various layers beneath the earth. Clayey soil and mixture of silt in soil layers exhibits inadequate load bearing ability and shows significant changes in volume with respect to changes in moisture levels. Stabilization of soil is the process that improves the behavior of soil properties. The study investigates the percentage of granite dust that can be a best stabilizer to silty and clayey soil. A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effects of granite dust. Artificial soil sample were prepared with 0%, 12%, 16%, 20%and 24% with additive as granite dust on silty and clayey soils. Chemical composition of the granite dust was studied for the application of granite dust as a stabilizer. Comprehensive soil tests like liquid limit, plastic limit, Maximum dry density, swell index, shear strength, CBR were performed. A significant decrease was observed in liquid and plastic limit varying with granite dust for both the soils. The dry density increases with an increase in % of granite dust. Swell index shows a decrease rate with increase in granite dust. The shear strength and CBR values gave appropriate increase conclude that granite dust can acts good soil stabilizer for clayey and silty soils.
